I wonder how bad an idea it is to mount a raspi pico at a 90-degree angle to a PCB

I'm trying to design a keyboard that needs to fit into a small area (550mm by 15mm) and I realized I can technically get a little more room by making it have two right-angle PCBs. I could do that by designing two PCBs... or I could just have a pico mounted at 90 degrees!

@foone or mount the RP2040 right to the main board

@cinebox I'm not sure I'm gonna have room for that, amusingly enough.
