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!

Something not entirely unlike this.

I just realized this PCB is actually bigger than my chosen PCB fab can make.

I mean, unless I have them make it diagonally, but I imagine that'd be a tad expensive

I locked up kicad for 5 minutes by accidentally trying to insert 8000 keys

@simonzerafa NO

not only do I not want to do something Tom Scott already did, but keyboards don't do unicode.

Sigh. I'll stop following you as you seem to have issues with actually having a conversation.

Be well and have a good life.
