Title: Plate cutout for PCB mounted Stabilizers
Post by: demopolisa on Sat, 23 January 2016, 22:01:14

Hi,
I'm building a ergodox, with the mechanicalkeyboards.com ergodox PCB, and have decided to use PCB mounted Cherry stabs as I had a few laying around.
Will the Litster case work with the PCB stabs, or do I have to make the cutout for the stabs bigger because they are not costar?

Thanks in advance

Going from Costar to PCB mount, they holes will need to be opened up.  Cherry PCB and Cherry Plate mount stabs will work in the same hole, so if you dig into Cherry's site, you can get to a PDF that has all those specs.
