Hello all!
I find it impressively annoying when people ask if a certain PCB or certain plate allows for a particular layout.
I thought it would be so much easier if they could design their perfect keyboard easily - but usually that costs a lot for a one-off.
So I thought of the below idea. It uses pin rows to locate the small PCB pieces, which connect with metal contacts on top and bottom edges to allow the circuit to complete. you can have any layout you want - ortho, 6.25u, 7u, 9u, split, ISO, ANSI - anything.
What is missing from this image is PCB blockers/spacers to fill the spaces. Top row pieces will be different to allow horizontal traces to controller on separate board.
This is very similar to the enabler from techkeys but hopefully without hand wiring.
This is all IDEAS - I have no clue if this actually works - hence posting it here!
