jackhumbert...I don’t think I care too much about SMD standoffs but didn’t even know stabilizer plate was not sized correctly.
I haven’t touched my board after learning that there is an issue. I still hope that my plate has no issue when I open it up this weekend with flasher.
EDIT: Ok. now I understand why plastic SMD is an issue. I got my Pro Micro that I tried open the case by unscrewing 9 screw on the back side. Initially, out of 9 screws, only 1 kinda unscrewed properly. The rest of screws just spin in place. The trick is to push on area of switches from top side while you unscrew, then it stops standoffs from spinning and you can get the screws out.
Man....so much for this keyboard. It's just unfortunate for both maker and the consumers.

jackhumbertIs it possible to get a set of the metal standoffs and install them on the first version of the board? I'd like very much for mine to have them.

jackhumbertAny way we can fix the stabilizer on the original drop and get metal stand offs. Kinda feel like shit with how bad The first drop went and how poor it has been handled since. Just want mine to work 100%
