I want to help you for this great project !

I could give you the 4 sliders corresponding to the F9-F12 caps since I never use them on my daily Realforce ...

How can I dismount them ?

Do I have to retire all screws on the back of the PCB to release the switches ?

Some screws are identified by an arrow on the back of the PCB, do you know why ?

thankslet's see how my new model comes out.I'll review openSCAD, thanks. Unfortunately the thickness of the cylinder cannot be altered in either direction (internally it hits on the MX stem, externally on the Topre slider). The talon at the end of the cylinder is actually optional, if it doesn't come out the slider should work anyway.I considered that, but I would end up with a copy of copy and the slider is really small. Anyway if anything else fails, I'll do that.
