I like thin....
Another option that occurs to me: what if we use shorter standoffs on the front than the back? The front then will be nice and low as it is limited by either the teensy or any USB ports. It's also a way to add a little bit of a angle to the keyboard as well. I'd want to file the standoffs to add an angle though (otherwise you'll bend the plate when you tighten the bolts) and might need to run a tap through to clean the threads up afterwards.
yes, i had considered this. you would have to get the angle of the standoffs within a few degrees of perfect. i would also consider puttting a rubber grommet between the standoff and both plates to make up for that, but it would probably wobble a bit. if you could make this idea work, though, you would end up with a nice angle without a need for feet.
i would still like some more feedback before ordering, as the standoffs are a bit pricey. i can't order a bunch and just ship people what they want. i either need to know now what each person wants with their kit, or we pick a length by popular vote. maybe i should start a new poll? these are the last pieces to order.
i transferred money from paypal to my bank account today, as the shop does not accept paypal. i will send payment tomorrow, and have them send me a confirmation email or some proof of purchase that i can post for you guys. everything else should be here tomorrow! i will post pictures of the stuff when it gets here.
here's the diodes and teensys:
