So I just got around to taking a close look at my lightsaver parts, considering different layouts, and I notice that the acrylic version of the plate has fewer layout options than the tray-style plate I've seen posted by Photoelectric and others. What it means is that I cannot use a 6.25x spacebar, left winkey, FN, etc. The only option I have is a 7x space, ctrl and alt on the left. What I cant figure out is why the acrylic version has these differences beyond the extra tabs that secure it between layers of acrylic. I was made aware of the extra tabs, though not the limited layout options, when Elton PM'd me about my options. I'm guessing he didn't know. Really wishing I had just taken the tray version of the plate. I was pretty excited to start assembling today but now I'm just disappointed.
My only options as I see it would be to modify the plate or not used it at all which I don't really want to consider. Modifying the plate would require a drawing of the tray version of the plate as I don't want to end up with sloppy cutouts. But it's plausible since my background is in metalworking/machining. Does anyone have any thoughts short of waiting for the V3 GB?
So sad guys
