What's with the random blues?I left those in place to keep the mount plate from coming completely separated from the circuit board. The remaining switches hold the plate at the correct spacing away from the PCB. The remaining blues are swapped out after soldering in the first batch of new ergo clears and reds.

Harrison, I think you should be ok. You're right that the plate position is dictated by the tiny locking tabs on the lower half of the MX switch housing, and the PCB is flush with the bottom of the switches. I'd recommend just to be careful on the first few you solder back in, to make sure the switches sit flush on the PCB. Replacing keys in 2 passes (like I did with KL's board) makes this a non-issue.
The Filco tenkeyless doesn't appear to use any standoffs, other than the switches themselves.
Glad this mod interests you harrison - I had a feeling it would from when you told me your mod idea before...
which springs did you end up putting in the clear 'ergo' switches? were they the original blues?
Congrats, good job!
Happy Easter!
How does that smoothness compare with your Topre. Does lubing eliminate the friction completely when you hit the switch off center?
