Case Standoff Size: Mx vs. Choc
Do the sizes for the case standoffs differ for Mx vs. Choc switches? I recently assembled an Mx kit and the standoffs that were included seem to be too small to fasten the case together. Not sure if there are different sizes for the standoffs given the bigger switches or if this is just user error on my part.

Hi there!
The case standoffs for our kits are designed to fit the specific keyboard model, regardless of whether it's built for MX or Choc switches. The documentation doesn't indicate different standoff sizes based on switch type.
It sounds like you might be having trouble with the screws. For the main case assembly, you should be using the flat head screws. The round head screws are typically for the display covers. Double-check that you're using the correct screws for the case.
You can find detailed steps for assembling the case in our build guides:
- For Corne Wireless: https://docs.typeractive.xyz/build-guides/corne-wireless/case
- For Lily58 Wireless: https://docs.typeractive.xyz/build-guides/lily58-wireless/case
If you've confirmed you're using the correct screws and are still having trouble, please reply here or tag me, and I'll be happy to help further!
