As someone that has pretool screw ins... Would it be worth it to try to find clip ins for the spacebar to use the gasket, or just roll top mount?
worth it - I haven't tried top mount yet cuz I am really digging the gasket.
ALSO - Install the gummy before you solder the PCB - I really liked having room to pull the PCB and Plate apart while wedging the o-ring in around the USB port on the PCB.
What switches did you use to use gummy before soldering? I have vints in a mock build and with the h88, the pcb moves around a bit to the point that I think doing it before soldering might be difficult.
By gummy, do you mean the gasket? You can leave the gasket to the end. Just pinch it and stick it behind the USB port - that’s my technique.

you can do it before or after solder, I didn't like how tight it was in there and didn't want to slice the oring wedging it in
I think its best to start here, it likes to pinch the rubber here either way, then you can stretch it around the rest
note - ur oring is probably clear, ignore my red one
Ah - cool. I see what you’re saying now.
Ran into that issue as well, I was cautious about the USB area as I didn't want to slice the O-ring with my spudging tool.
That said though, I did use GMK screw in stabs and didn't have any issues mounting it.
So it does work fine with screw ins?
Si senor. It is a little bit tight, but everything pushes in fine when you sandwich everything in. Maybe it just squishes the rubber gasket against the spacebar stabs but that doesn't seem to have caused any issues :shrug:
All said and done, I absolutely prefer the sound profile of gasket mount over top mounting (I tried both)
