I built two Ferris Sweeps today, one for home, and one for the office. I originally intended to build one, but after I tested the first, I immediately decided I wanted to also use this at work.

I wasn’t able to figure out how to align the switches better, so the grid is pretty bad looking. It doesn’t impact my typing at all, so I’ve left it alone.

I think next time, I’ll want some kind of case for it, I’m currently using cardboard, and the whole thing is kinda janky looking.

    I also have two Ferris sweeps. My error was that I bought 3 pin switched, which wont sit right in place without a case. 5 pin switches(those with the 2 extra plastic pins at the bottom), will sit perfectly fine and straight without a case. So if you have 3 pin switches, that could be the problem with the “bad looking grid”. I currently have a silent one with Gazzew Bobas and a loud one with Kaihl Owls.
