Helix Split Ortholinear Keyboard Case

thingiverse

I bought a Helix keyboard kit with acrylic case, and was annoyed by the fact that the standoffs only hold the switch plate to the case bottom, leaving the PCB hanging in between by the friction of the switch pins in the sockets. Multiple times I accidentally pushed the PCB down and off the switches.This case has tiered standoffs that support both the PCB and the switch plate at the correct spacing. Use M3 screws tapped directly into the case to hold the switch plate down. Also includes PCB support under the controller area.In addition, there are wrist rests that attach with 12x2mm disc magnets. Center spacers hold the halves together so they keep a predictable orientation. The center spacer holds the halves 22mm apart, and the angled one is 35mm on the short side and 58mm on the wide side, angle 15 degrees. Use of the spacers requires right-angled TRS cable to connect the halves, a straight cable won't fit.STEP files are included for easy modifications.
