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.
