Trim it until it will fit in one of your keyboards

Hey, wouldn't you know it; A 6-layer board fits inside of a wavebird profile just fine. Alright, that's the current trajectory.
So I did my six layer trim and everything seems to be working fine. Now, there's been the issue of vertical space. I think my solution will work nicely:
Everything thus far has been cemented in place with melted ABS, but I plan to do additional filling with Bondo shortly.

Spooky looking 
Make sure you deal with the heat well, I know 6 layers get pretty hot if not cooled well. You'll also probably want to cement the battery door on and cut out that compartment to store your actual batteries (I assume 18650s)

This project is so cool! I'm glad you were able to fit the 6 layer board in the Wavebird.
How is it to hold that? I feel it could be a bit uncomfortable.
lmao the spoiler is called "Still fits comfortably in my hands", I take that to mean it's still comfortable...
Doh didn't see that
Well this is a very impressive project, looking forward to more updates
Thanks! Yeah, it's still very comfortable. Actually a bit MORE comfortable if you ask me; I always thought GC controllers were a little small.

I have a pretty decent heatsink and fan setup going. I might take it a little farther though. As for the batteries, I'm actually considering doing without ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I mean, I have to be plugged into a screen to use it anyways, there's generally gonna be a power source available.
