I finally got my KBD66 assembled, and I've bee loving it so far.
I went for a standard ISO layout, but with a split right shift.
I went for a split right shift mostly because I belived it would be easier getting hold of a 1.25u + a 1u keycap for those keys than getting a 2.25u keycap.
I have now realized my mistake, as the standard left shift on ANSI layout boards are of course 2.25! Meaning that I would get an extra of those keys with most keycap sets...
After using the board for a couple of days I've realized that I'll probably just map both keys to RSHIFT anyway, as I have no use for the extra FN key, and I keep hitting the wrong key when trying to use RSHIFT.
Is there any easy way to fix this, i.e. to make the two keys into a single 2.25u RSHIFT?
The board uses PCB mount stabs, but perhaps it's possible to use plate mount for just this one key?
Here is a detail shot of the plate and the two switches I'm considering "merging"
As you can see there is a small cutout at the bottom of the hole in the plate, which I think is to accomodate for PCB mount stabilizers, but I'm not sure.
Does it look like it's possible to use plate mount stabilizers here?
An easy solution would be to just skip the stabs overall, but I'm not sure how well that would work...
