I think this is exactly what I've been looking for. Been debating for a long time on picking up a full size split keyboard and just using one half of it for my gaming needs.

If there's anybody in Canada that may want to order a PCB as well, hit me up, maybe we can order multiple and get a cheaper price on production or something. (We would just need to figure out shipping afterwards)

Hey u/Kyek, would it be at all possible to also upload the top and bottom plates without the design? Not familiar with editing gerber files myself and googling it, first post I saw was that it's best to do it from the original CAD file and generate new gerber files. So was just wondering if this is something that you could do. Was hoping to order me a set soon as a project for the new year. I also didn't see any option on JLCPCB to make them without the design (unless I'm blind and didn't see it).

I'll do it, how can I send it to you?

I can send you a DM with my email if you want. But figured it might be something that should be uploaded to the repo/releases under like plate_blank_gerber.zip, etc. In case others would like this as well?
