I just "winged it" on the angle, and I never measured it. What's seen as a good angle for a keyboard?

Hi Hermith! Which tools did you use for sloping? Can you describe this step a little further, please?

The "base" of the keyboard is just a wedge (in birch I think), this was cut with a circular saw at an angle that "seemed right". Then the outer parts in mahogany was cut to height based on the spacers + PCB + switch + keycap height, to the bottom of the keycap.

Thanks! A circular saw ... We have a do-it-yourself store, which could do that for me, since I'm not the guy juggling with a circular saw. :-)
