Hi all,
I want to create a custom computer keyboard plate that is choc-switch spaced.
Are there templates for the slot that a choc switch would clip into (correct width, height & any angles ) that I could incorporate into a keyboard case layout? Plan would likely be to print a blank pcb with the cutouts, so something I could pull into KiCad would be ideal.
Note: cross-posted with slight alterations to 3DPrinting.
I modeled this based on publicly available 2D drawings of choc switch and MBK keycaps. (only the tab with 1u keycap is accurate, the other sizes are just extrapolated from 1u). https://cad.onshape.com/documents/de7f3deb0f607e27e1e3b0a5/w/a5d7d9590f3d54af6134a42c/e/13311f5788e147dc81e0db27?renderMode=0&uiState=64a150bde27a2f1cb2146061
Thank you so much!

Looks like your plate needs to be 1.3mm, and the square cutout is 13.8mm²
