Get yourself a stepped caps lock keycap, something like this:

It was way more work than I anticipated. Getting the measurements correct for the standoffs, daughterboard, switches etc took a lot of work and test prints to get right. OTOH I got a working prototype ready pretty fast (1-2 days) which basically just had the standoffs and the daughterboard exposed.

You might also consider doing something like this guy did: https://lemmy.world/post/2817315

Thanks a bunch!

Another question: What did you do with the battery? Just discard it?

Pretty darn cool! Some questions:

How did you get the placement of the standoffs correct? What did you use for standoffs? Are those screws covered in o-rings? Are those keycaps the same type as the Keychron low profile series?

Having been working on a custom 3d-printable case for my K8Pro, and one of the biggest challenges has been the exact locations of the standoffs.

This absolutely. Using variables is a very powerful feature which enables robust, solid and parametric modelling. The way it is implemented currently, however, is very crude. I have also had issues where when a cell refers to another cell further down in the spreadsheet, all sorts of mysterious bugs occur.

Would be nice if someone would implement a proper solution for this. I’d be willing to chip in on financial support if that would be required.

Ouch… Personal phone number exposed on Google Play? Not good. If there is not a cheap and easy way for me to get a second phone number I guess I am out. Have seen it coming for a while, Google Play is no longer a place to be for indie devs.
