Hello!
I'm sure many of you have gotten those 104 PBT keysets and would like to use them for your phantom.
Being one of the unlucky few who didn't get their shipments on time, I have just gotten around to making this work. I was previously using black cherry double shots and gmk purple modifiers(write up on my blog(
http://darrelduque.wordpress.com/), but then I remembered how awesome the key profile and material these PBTs have. They are the sets you could off ebay/feng and my style are the engraved type.
Anyway, to the meat of this post...
I was trying to figure out how to get the shorter right shift so I can maintain key feel/profile and noticed the 0 key from the numpad(unused since I'm tenkeyless now) is almost the same size... So naturally I dropped in the spot where the right shift would go and noticed that it was slight rubbing on both left and right sides... so I decided to take a knife to it...
You'll notice that I did the right side much cleaner than the left side. The right side is also a more realistic version of what you should/have to cutoff.
The results were pretty good. I would recommend going a little at a time rather than just going for the gold like I did
.

Hack on!
