A wavy piece of plastic.
(I'm guessing a stabilizer for the spacebar)

LED diffuser for the side of the case
Aim_19 t1_j275km6 wrote
What kind of stabilizers are you working with?
SimplyJosho t1_j276j2v wrote
It's an LED diffuser lol. The gmmk pro has two rgb bars on either side of the case, and these diffusers help the LEDs look nicer.
SimplyJosho t1_j276loo wrote
It shouldn't matter too much. I left mine out of my gmmk pro too.
NorthCoast11 t1_j278n22 wrote
Doe this mean you have to take it apart?
PostsDifferentThings t1_j27asus wrote
If you want to put the diffuser in, yes, you would need to separate the top from the rest of the case and insert the diffuser. One could always just leave the diffuser out if they wanted to.
scaylos1 t1_j27bey8 wrote
Not an expert, just working on the relative size to the spacebar and a quart of strong craft beer.

Thanks for the explanation! My guess was literally a guess. :)

What is this?
Wishbone51 t1_j27kw9t wrote
Not sure why you're getting downvoted. My first thought was that it was some new-fangled stabilizer as well
sunfaller t1_j27l32j wrote
The good news is you dont have to unscrew the whole pcb and plate to put it back

Gmmk pro's side led diffuser
Op needs to take out about 10 screws to put it back...

lol my first build i couldn't figure out why my stabs kept ticking. took me 2 weeks to figure out (after many attempts at holee mod) .... that my stab bars weren't supposed to be under the stab holes...they were supposed to go through the stab holes...

On an unrelated note, I cannot tell by your hands whether you are male or female. This is a compliment if anything and entirely unimportant but worth mentioning, I decided!

space bar upside down is a tactic. Not so sure about the S key though. Personally, I like to flip my space bars too.
CoolidgeTheElder t1_j28tudf wrote
Could be an opportunity to take the board apart and do a bit of modding.
CynderPC t1_j28u086 wrote
could’ve already been done. the diffuser isn’t just going to fall out on its own.

I just did something similar. Changed out the plate and forgot to reconnect the USB.

They’re the Akko Prunus Lannesiana Set! Got them on Amazon since they’re sold out on the Akko site
jimmymusk1 OP t1_j2999na wrote
yeah I switched the stock alu plate to a polycarbonate plate and removed the stab pads since they were super super sticky, and then somehow this got lost in the abyss when putting it all back together 😭
CynderPC t1_j29b1t6 wrote
well you should only have to take off the casing, and not the plate should be able to just squeeze the diffuser right in there

That gotta be the most annoying thing… I had a smaller thing I left out, a single pcb screw I somehow found after cleaning up the table… it’s sitting in a box since I didn’t bother putting it back tho lol

No, I'll upvote that. I keep mine inverted because it's angled and matched my thumb better afterwards.

Flipping my spacebar on DSA/XDA feels like plugging in a USB cable. It was correct the first time, but I need to flip it at least twice to make it extra correct

_lonely_hunter_ t1_j2bdnfx wrote
weeks ago i thought the same!, i almost screw those parts in the wrong direction, then dealing with the hardest part assembling the pcb with aluminum plate after some particular mods i did, you deal with like 12 screws in the same layer.
after finishing i had to unscrew again because i forgot the pcb tape mod lmao!.
