its a easy fix: just buy a sheet of veneer and resurface them the right way. (grain going top down in the right order)

Nice idea, if you used that with BNC terminators, you could sense which key was there and which not.

Oh yah, after 3 months they’ll all be in the open position, for convenience. But that’s 3 months of clicking goodness.

That’s my project! And yes, you’re right – I’d pay more attention to the grain direction if I made it again, but tbh I was just happy to make the damn thing work in the first place!

It was a great challenge to make but very enjoyable all the same.
