I Think My Switch Is Stuck! - The Tale of Cherry MX Locks
Over the years of collecting mechanical keyboard switches, I’ve been lucky enough to have encountered dozens upon dozens of rare and unique ones that have stuck in my mind to this day. Prototypes, factory errors, and even a few switches so rare that there is literally zero documentation about them anywhere in the world all fill that personal list from top to bottom. However, I realize that talking about switches so far outside of most people’s reaches, and even sometimes my own grasp, doesn’t make for the most exciting of articles about switches. To this newest generation of keyboard enthusiasts, though, there is one pretty rare MX-style switch which has made its way to the top of everyone’s “must try” lists – Cherry MX Locks. These often undiscussed and even more rarely seen switches are something that few people have seen and even fewer have had the chance to try at a meetup before.

For a while I've wanted to set a Raspberry Pi up as an emulation machine to emulate old computers such as C64, BBC Micro etc. I started to think about what sort of case I would put it in, and even looked for defunct retro computers I could repurpose.
But now I'm thinking a Raspberry Pi would fit under or inside a mechanical keyboard case or mount, making a beautiful modern retro machine.

Has anyone attempted something like this? Does anyone have any advice of where to start?
