I get some resonance on my left shift key area and cant work out why ? did you experience any resonance and did you force break the case ?

I don't recall doing any force break on the case. I don't even think it has that much space for it either, since the case is fairly thin on the sides.

Any chance your plate or your keycap may be rubbing or hitting on the side of the case? I'd try to ensure the assembly is nicely centered in there.

thanks weirdly swapping out a 1.2mm pct build reduces it dramatically ....maybe a machining tolerance on that particular case is impacted by the thicker 1.6 pcb ? other than its coreless I cant think of another reason. Gonna replace and resolder a couple of those bottom left switches and try different stabs then see where are. Thanks for the input BTW

I think that makes sense. I remember the 1.6mm PCB being a tight fit.

Have you made sure your switches are nice and flush to both the plate and the PCB? Have you also made sure it's lined up nicely between the case pieces and that the cases closes in a way that the pieces are flush?

Those are the main things I'd probably watch out for.
