Presently the board is top mounted but we are looking into softmounting and plate leaf springs. Unfortunately, tuning sound on a mostly hollow 3D printed case has been a pretty fruitless endeavor. The current development plate is meant to have more mounting options than necessary to experiment with mounting locations and will not be the final plate (pictures below).
The board presently runs on ZMK firmware but we are looking into RMK as well. Regardless, running the adafruit bootloader means it should be compatible with either and it is a trivial drag and drop over USB to change firwmare.
