Timeline
So I took a bit of inspiration from Teenage Enginerring and so I came up with these keycaps. It makes them look a lot of a music producer's synth board. Anyway, making this key cap took a ton of time because I needed to get the exact measurements and stuff for the MX Switch.
So I was able to finish my drawing and also create the Glass Bridge for my LCD. Unfortunately the glass bridge will have to be large. I was also able to create padded indents in my top case to accommodate the MX Switches. I still need to test everything in an assembly. I also created indents for the Knobs.
I added MX Switches to Creative Pad PCB Assembly so that I could turn it into a simplified drawing. I was able to put my simplified drawing in OnShape's part studio. Then I added some padding to the switches because without it, even a slight misalignment would prevent it from going in the case.
Unfortunatly, KiCad Wakatime hasn't tracked all the time on my PCB in KiCad. Anyway, here is a picture on what Ive worked on.
