FYI, the only stabilizer on this is the screw-down PCB mount spacebar stab. All other keys are 1.75 units or less.

Do it! Then send me the Home and F1 keys!
Honestly though you probably won't find one cheaper than $6.

Post by: dorkvader on Tue, 15 July 2014, 00:34:50: all the WY-50 keyboards I've seen are thick. This is to be contrasted with the WY-16 (non stepped) which are usually thin.
