Can't you disable the touchpad in BIOS?
Thanks for doing the math! I'm not quite sure I follow: why is the lengths different for row and columns on the Mantis? Are you calculating to the press point of your sculpted keycaps?
Super nice project!
The custom keycaps, that's a dream. I'd love if there was a good method for that. I laser cut my board myself, too (but at a mkser space), and would love to make custom keycaps for it.
To speed up the process and perhaps get less errors, could you possibly do all of them at once?
Since you cut the plate, you have the drawing, so you could place the legends appropriately on that, then place keycaps on all switches and press play?
Maybe you could start with small dots on four corner keycaps in one go to calibrate/not risk bad prints on a full keycap set.
That's a great question - sorry for the slow reply! I bought some from a mechanical keyboard online shop that had a sale, but maybe you can find some as cheap elsewhere.
I bought SPRiT MX Multistage 55 M1 and SPRiT MX Extreme 45s Slow springs. I'm thinking I'll try the 55g ones first. They were just really cheap, so I bought the 45g, too.
Which of the infinities? There are many, many :D
The smallest infinity is the size of the natural numbers. That infinty, Aleph zero, is smaller than the infinity of the real numbers, Aleph one. "etc."

I like the U4Ts (there is a also a silent version called "U4Ts", just FYI.)
I haven't tried a ton of switches either, but the U4Ts are the tactile switches I have tried that I like the most for their noticeable tactility. And I've been using 68g, which maybe even hides some tactility. So I've bought some 55g two-staged springs I want to swap to.
If you don't know it, then there is an immense collection of switch reviews which also covers the U4Ts: https://github.com/ThereminGoat/switch-scores/blob/master/U4T%20(62g).pdf
What have you tried that you didn't like? And did you consider swapping springs in some that you do like? Then you can those as light as you'd like.
Did you try Gazzew U4T?
