From the project

Smashbox/Frame1-inspired game controller with support for Cherry MX and Kailh Choc switches

The controller case is designed to be made out of cut sheets of material, such as laser cut wood/acrylic or metal. I recommend a thickness of 3mm for the top plate for use with low profile Choc switches, and 6mm for use with regular MX switches to ensure keycaps protrude nicely without the sides of the switches being exposed. The switch mounting plate needs to be 1.5mm thick to fit the Cherry MX/Kailh Choc design specs and ensure a good fit, thinner plates may cause poor mounting and thicker plates will interfere with Choc switch mounting.
