Hi guys,

I’ve been playing around with my uConsole and customizing it for a while now. The one thing I bought that really changed my experience is lulu’s touchpad keyboard kit (@lululvlv).

Unfortunately, the black colored front cover he made for this keyboard wasn’t in stock. I really didn’t want to wait, and I definitely didn’t want to file down my original case to make it fit. So, I took some measurements of the trackpad kit, modified the uConsole’s open-source case STEP files, then ordered a custom cover CNC’d by JLCPCB. It ended up fitting perfectly!

A few key details about the design:

  • Original Aesthetics: I kept the original look without any extra decorative stuff. I just adjusted the hole size to fit the trackpad.

  • CNC Optimized: I removed the ring bump on the back to make it smoother for CNC manufacturing.

  • Module Slot: I added an extra slot on the back for the trackpad module, which works with the 3D-printed riser that comes with the trackpad keyboard kit.

For my final build, I chose 6061 Aluminum with Hard Anodizing. I also ordered an SLA 3D-printed version for my initial fit test, which worked great. FDM 3D printing should work fine as well, though I haven’t personally tried it yet.

For the ones who want to make it yourself :wink:

Hi! May I ask where you got the bolts for the faceplate from?

Does anyone have a3d print file for a new front cover that already has the correct touchpad hole?

Hi i brought this from Taobao, here is the link, but I think you need to download the taobao app first then use this link, and the whole app was build for Chinese community so I’m afraid it’s not very friendly for non Chinese speakers. And you can try search it on other platforms if that would be the case :slight_smile:
