Title: Plate arrived!
Post by: DanielOh on Mon, 11 February 2019, 18:01:51

Plate finally arrived, One question is what kindda screw size does most custom keyboards use? Cause I just used m2(or 2pi) screw. Is it okay?

2mm. That's fine, easy stuff to find. More importantly... what size are the holes in the plate. Get hardware to match that.

my Viterbi (same style, dual plate case) has 12mm standoffs, just for reference of plate spacing.
