I'm designing a gamepad with some subset of a 36-key matrix, and I'd very much like its profile to match a keyboard, which means a wedge shape. Cost is very much an issue, so CNC and similar methods are right out. But YOUR design concept could work very well; certainly much better than any of the acrylic sandwich designs running around.
But what acrylic does have in its favor is cost. I wonder if there is a way to get the wooden wedge made cheaply from plastic. You could have a piece of acrylic or aluminum to hold the PCB, so structural strength would not be needed for the wedge itself.
We do need to find a more, um, attractive form of the silicon layer, however.
Does it come in basic black?
