Moonlander Elevators

What else would you call things that raise the back of a Moonlander keyboard:

Moonlander elevators - installed

The Moonlander comes with two adjustable struts, one for each keyboard half, which should hold the things at whatever angle you like. I put wood blocks underneath for better support, but finally gave up and laid out a quartet of elevators on scrap 3 mm acrylic:

The upper hole is 30 mm from the base and that’s the only one I needed, so they’re even easier to make than they look.

Done!

    One of their keyboards might be a suitable replacement for my Microsoft Ergo board that’s getting near end-of-life. Now, if the zsa.io website doesn’t crash my system (at least on Pale Moon), I’ll look into it. Trying Firefox…

      Yeah, it’s something of a lifestyle choice, but I really like how it works.
