Yesterday's pencil sketch was touched up with colored pens for clarity. A rectangular box will hold the electronics, including a battery which will make it entirely wireless when used with only Bluetooth. Square buttons will mount on each side. Four finger side buttons will be spaced to standard keyboard spacing distance while the three thumb buttons will be mounted next to each other.
Modeling used the previously designed parametric enclosure but added buttons and removed material so button wire could pass through. No optimizing was done to accommodate the holes so printing material will have to print with supports. Switches will be mounted by gluing them to the enclosure. Standard 12mmx12mm tactile switches with caps should fit if the leads are bent inward or folded.
