Hello all,
I'm currentely planning my custom keyboard because I still use an old rubber-dome keyboard.
Once I heard about mechanical keyboards I got my idea of an design for an custom keyboard.
So I started drawing my design.
This is how it looks right now:

![[Build log] The Aviator, a custom keyboard 76175-3](https://geekhack.org/index.php?PHPSESSID=qpier526o10c3fvc23p7kadlbvnq3tvm&action=dlattach;topic=62374.0;attach=76176;image)
It will be fully made out of 1.5 mm silver and black anodized aluminium which will be cnc-milled.
The cutouts for the MX-switches are still missing. I need to know first the dimensions for cutouts that can be milled.
As PCB i think I'm going to use Gons 108 NerD if no one has a better suggestion. Stabilizers will be costar.
What do you think how many space schould be between the PCB and the bottomplate to have enough space?
