Is there any possible way to alter the case (DIY) so the screws feed from the bottom? Or another way to secure the case?

Or another way to secure the case?The screws enter from the top and bottom and secure to standoffs that reside in the inner layers, there's not a good way to move the screws off the top. If you want something that stands out less, getting matching black, white or nylon screws can be done, and you can countersink them so they sit flush with the top of the case. The top screws are m3, 10mm long.
I fixed the issue with shaving a bit of the plate off on top of the stab wire with a xakto knife and lubing the underside of the plate and the stab wire as well. Seems to be working very well since. 4 more stabs to go...and 2 Arisu boards after that.

The newest plate ( https://github.com/worldspawn00/Gothic70/blob/master/Gothic70%20cut%20files/plate.svg ) works better, but somehow still gets me with sticky stabs, and sometimes not right away. Usually after a few minutes or hours of typing. I am glad someone else has tried different stabs, because I thought it might just be my stabilizers which are all from one batch.Did you figure what the problem actually is/was? Is the plate squeezing the stabs somehow?I just finished assembling my Gothic70, but didn't really want to start troubleshooting tonight.I was thinking maybe it's the PCB given that they're PCB mounted stabs, but like I said I didn't really have a chance to troubleshoot so I'm just speculating. Maybe it allows mounting the stabs slightly skewed or maybe the holes for the stabilizer are slightly too far or close to what they should be.With the older version you could tell right away that the plate was squeezing the stab wire, or that was my interpretation. I have never been able to figure out what the issue is with the newer version of the plate (rounded cutouts version). I sent the one I have with the old plate to merlin64 to be desoldered and swapped with the new (rounded cut out plate).Various people have very kindly suggested solutions of adjusting the different layers, WS suggested that it might be the cap rubbing against the case bezel.

Hi!I just got my Gothic70 and I just wanted to ask for like a somewhat in-depth tutorial on how to solder on RGB strips onto the back of the PCB. I'm looking throughout the back of the PCB and I can't seem to find the places to solder them in, can anyone advise me on where it is? Also, I hear the default RGB strips for this keyboard is 7, and I'm just wondering how am I able to change that. (Sorry, I'm a complete novice at this)Also, am I able to flash the board with VIA using this hex file?: https://github.com/worldspawn00/Firmwares/blob/master/gothic70/gothic70-via-pack.zipThanks!
#define RGBLED_NUM 7
Will there be any plans for a second gb?
Finally getting around to building mine but lost the standoffs and screws. Do these use M3 hex standoffs?
I recently bought a gothic from someone on mm and I was also wondering if the via file posted above would work?
Hi! this is probably a dumb question, but since gothic 70 plates are out of stock, are there any other alternatives that we could use? Such as plates for the tgr alice or the maja. Thanks!

More details once prototypes arrive.I can't tell you how excited this makes me! I've been looking for a solid Alice-type with arrows (since I'm of the "Right-side B" clan).
