Keys are not aligned

[maciejmatczak]

Hello /u/wootpatoot.

I found out this topic: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/89dcin/help_lets_split_row_spacing/
aaand as I am planning to get the PCBs for this lovely keyboard, I double checked the design. So just via checking out the drill file, I can see that keys are misaligned.

I hooked up some small python script and that's what we have:

Python script

from pathlib import Path


data = (Path(__file__).parent.resolve() / 'switch-drills.txt').read_text().split()

xs = []
ys = []

for coord in data:
    x, y = coord.split('Y-')
    x = x.replace('X', '')
    x, y = int(x), int(y)

    xs.append(x)
    ys.append(y)

xs = sorted(set(xs))
ys = sorted(set(ys))

print('used xs:', xs)
print('used ys:', ys)

for x1, x2 in zip(xs[:-2], xs[1:]):
    print(f'x2 - x1 = {x2-x1}')

for y1, y2 in zip(ys[:-2], ys[1:]):
    print(f'y2 - y1 = {y2-y1}')

And:

Output of "analysis" looks like that:

used xs: [17913, 17933, 25413, 32913, 40413, 47913, 55413]
used ys: [18445, 25945, 25965, 33445, 33465, 40945, 41004]
x2 - x1 = 20
x2 - x1 = 7480
x2 - x1 = 7500
x2 - x1 = 7500
x2 - x1 = 7500
y2 - y1 = 7500
y2 - y1 = 20
y2 - y1 = 7480
y2 - y1 = 20
y2 - y1 = 7480

• we should have 6 X coords, we have 7
• we should have 4 Y coords, we have 7

Don't get me wrong, this "20" error is like 0.0508 millimeters, so I guess it's not a deal breaker :) as looot of boards got already successfully created. But it's maybe something you would like to address.
