The New Hotness

  • Moonlander Elevators

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

    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!
