Hi there,

I plan on building me a 40% for the first time (already have an ergodash but it’s soldered and wanted to try hotswap and a different format).

I’ve ordered plate, case, pcb and switches on ali epxress.
(will reuse my current key caps for now)

The description of each item doesn’t say if it comes with some hardware. (it just says 2u stab for the space key)

If it’s not included, where can I find the correct hardware.
I am not sure what length for the screws and stadoffs do I need.
I would appreciate if anybody with such experience could help me a bit with that.

Thank you in advance.

    I don’t remember what I did for my plancks but you can just buy standoffs on Amazon or pretty much any keyboard build site. I would just buy a medium sized set of them. In regards to stabilizers and stuff, pretty much any custom keyboard site will have them in stock. Like this one. https://cannonkeys.com/products/aeboards-staebies

    Just search on different keyboard forums or discords to find out where people are buying stuff.
