Cherry MX Plate Design Question

[Davsmith4]

So im making a custom mounting plate for a keyboard im making and the only measurements I cant find is how far apart the place the mounting holes. That is to say the distances between mounting holes so as standard sized keycaps wont interfere with each other upon being pressed. I understand that that will changed depending up layout and types of keys just if there is a chart or a thread that has some data I can look at that you can refer me to that would be great. My plate is for a standard 60% if that helps. If you have anything other info that might be helpful for someone designing their first custom mounting plate that would be wonderfull

Thanks!

You're welcome, and welcome to Geekhack!

By the way, the answer to your question is 19.05mm / 0.75" from center-to-center. The holes for MX  are nominally 14mm / 0.551" square.

Thanks for the info and the welcome! Between geekhack and Deskthority Ive already built my first keyboard
and now im working on my first truly custom one. I never realized the mechanical keyboard community was this big and this helpful before
