Update: the velcro tape is also really good for sticking them to smartphone holders.

By the way, the click in the Kailh v1 whites is removable. When you open them, there is a small spring at the back of the stem, opposite side of the actuation feather. You can remove it very easily, and you have linears.

One place to start looking is in the source code of the QMK firmware. They have subfolders for many keybaords, and most of them have a picture. https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards Most of them are hobby projects though, so soldering will be required.

Just an idea: you could attach the two halves of a split keyboard to a wooden board. The piantor is a corne-like split with hot-swap choc v1 sockets that has been designed to keep soldering to a minimum. Some soldering still required though.

I bought them from bol.com in EU, but they are also available from Amazon.

Yes it would probably be better to just go for linears in the first place. I just like to open things and look inside, and wanted to share this revelation.

Please tell us more about the angled risers. What are they, how do they look? Can you post a photo?

What is the difference between the MX and the choc version? If I understand correctly, chocs also fit in the 14x14 mm plate holes that the MXs need. And since you're hand-wiring, there is no PCB with different holes. Shouldn't the chocs just fit the MX version?
