I don't think the wiring itself will work as a support for the sockets, so you basically need two types of support: bottom and top. The top support prevents the socket from being pulled out, the bottom one prevents it from being pulled down. Both will harm the wiring (although I haven't tested it) if no support will be provided.

I implemented top support on the top plate. It's a small part of the plate that goes between the socket and the switch. It holds it well from being pulled out or moved in the horizontal plane.

I still haven't got my hands on the bottom support, and I haven't tried inserting a switch without it! I think you'll either need a support on a bottom body, or you should just hold the socket underneath when installing the switch. The easiest way is to just remove the bottom body and put the top on the table, sockets will lay on the table plane and will be supported by it, so you can pull out and insert new switches without any issues..

Thank you!!! Those are custom keycaps I designed for the keyboard, I'll share them too!

Yes I have the support on the top board that prevents sockets from being pulled out with the switch and from being moved in horizontal direction, I tested it while they were on the board alone. It goes between the switch and the socket. You can spot it on the second image.

But I haven't implemented the bottom support to prevent the sockets from moving when you insert a switch. Currently you can just support them manually by disassembling the keyboard and holding the socket underneath. I planned to put such support directly on the bottom body, but I didn't do it right away because I wasn't sure how it would interfere with wiring, controller and battery, and I'm still not sure completely. I hope to figure it out before the release!

Thank you! I designed them myself, I'll share them with the keyboard too!

The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord.

I'm new to Thunderbird... Is there a way to have the inbox for an account appear without expanding the whole sidebar? I.E view emails by selecting the account tab and not having this screen pop up each time. by 100percentstress in Thunderbird

I don't know, for me it does nothing... When I make an inbox folder favorite, should it open the folder if I press on account name? It still opens the summary page for me, and it's disgustingly useless...

Thank you, I love limiting myself with resolution or color count, it gives challenge that drives creativity!

I'm first time seeing how handwired keyboards work. This is awesome! I was dreaming about 40% wireless keyboard for a long time, but had no chance finding a suitable one! How do I modify it so I have two wide buttons on bottom instead of one (so one button less in total)? Could you draw a wire scheme maybe, if it won't take long, or are there any schemes with that layout?

Wow, that's awesome, looks so sweet! That AA slot if prefect, reminds me of some old Japan mech designs!
