2023-07-03 (M) KeyRyptex First draft

I had lots of inexpensive 2mm thick plywood, so I started with that dimension and began the design with a strip that would hold six keyswitches in a line. I added three notches between the square holes. A six-sided interior piece would give the design structure and a circular down the center where I can install a tube and electronics. When I envisioned the KeyRyptix, I imagined the keycaps exposed, but I thought adding a ring at each level would prevent accidental presses and convey the "rotary lock" aesthetic better. They will be easily removable and use the middle of the rectangular notches.
