You might be right. Its not obvious from the picture but it’s also going to be raised about 10 mm above the surface. I’m thinking of just integrating a Kingston fingerprint reader. No sense reinventing the wheel. Especially since I’m not smart enough to reinvent it lol

wouldn't it be easier to use if you just integrated it on the side of the keyboard. Like nothing would obstruct it and it's a large, flat, generally unused space.

Yea that would be ideal. I thought about doing that originally but then either the boarders or the case would have to be a pretty thick to accommodate the components. It would probably work if I knew how to design PCBs and could more tightly integrate everything but as it stands for right now I’m going to have to handwire. For this to work I also need to include a 2 port USB hub into the case. 1 port for the keyboard and the other for the fingerprint reader
