ErgoMechKeyboards
Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Rules
Keep it ergo
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)
i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²
¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

You could use a hot glue gun. If you ever need to take it off, isopropyl alcohol will cause it to unstick without any damage.
This is a brand new piece of information to me, and a quick google says it's right. This is useful.
lucky i have a hot glue gun; so must I just squeeze glue over the whole mcu? I do have splicing tape could i stick some down with hot glue?
You would spread it across the MCU. I'm not sure what the best way is to keep it perfectly smooth though. You could hide it with electrical tape if you really wanted to (is that what you mean by slicing tape?).
You really only need to cover the pins.
