Does the alu and brass plate support switch top opening? From the photo posted, it doesn't seem so.
confirm with kenlee, but i don't think it does
i'd have to read the IC again to be sure
some switchtop cutouts can cause the switches to go out of alignment and not look too hot
This would be my first DIY keyboard so probably my plan is getting a Zeal60 PCB, 67g Zealios Purple Switches (Not sure how many I need for hhkb layout) and a Zeal gold transparent stabilizers. 6.25u for the spacebar?
Thank you
again, wait for kenlee to reply, but i believe this uses a 7u spacebar
i recommend ordering the option that give you both spacebar stabs that way you have another set for your next custom, and it's less of a worry
the only issue is if this uses a true 6u spacebar, but i don't believe it does, it looks like a 7u because of the blocker sizes
order 70 switches so you have extras just in case; you'll end up using about 65 of them
rule of thumb is to always order a few more switches than you actually need in case you mess one up, or in case you miscount, i usually tell people to round up to the nearest 10
