2026-07-08 (W) EWC_Mobile Solder start

The 3D-printed knobs took a long time and looked great, but I did not have anything for the keyswitches. I tried a nice-looking model from Thingiverse, but the print was too fragile when I printed it on a filament printer. Additionally, they overhung and interfered with the knobs. I found a couple of round keycaps in my stock and added those. I soldered the 0V wires between all the components. These wires were tricky because I cut short lengths, twisted the ends together so I could attach them daisy-chain style instead of running 14 wires back to the microcontroller's prototyping board.
