Armstrong foam adhesive tape guarantees solid standig
Used some double sided adhesive tape to glue the feet to the case

Very well done my friend.  I really dig the milled wood case, did you make it yourself?

Thank you  :thumb:
A friend made it on his cnc machine. He also printed the "feet".

I'd imagine quite a few people would love a case (and feet) like that.  Again, great work!

These are the two 2D files used to make the case.
Mind that this was made for ISO. ANSI requires some dremel on pcb support because LEFT SHIFT and ENTER stabs, and because of  some in-switch leds on the bottom row.
The desirable depth was defined between gcode lines.

Milled the pcb support 1mm and 3 on the bottom of the case.
Made a short video with me working with a "state of the art machine", milling the bottom of the case.

Made some changes in the case.
The switches were 4mm higher than i want. Milled 1mm of pcb support and 3mm at the bottom of the case.
I treated the case with oak stain, two coats.
Glued 1mm rubber to the letters with double sided adhesive tape and glued the letters to the case with double sided adhesive tape as well.
