Yeah but this alcohol is flammable. You REALLY have to be outside and put the main alcohol container a distance away.

This was my experience, too. It’s a fun build, but it does have a bow. I added 3/8” thick bumpons on the corners and two 1/8” thick bumpons on the middle edges. That really helped with the sag. I ordered the real bricks on the Lego website and I’m going to try to rebuild it with those.
I put in Aquakings and clear Drop polystyrene keycaps and I think it looks and sounds pretty good.

Just got a keeb with a battery in it and I want to ask how long did it take for yours to get swollen. Im really concerned that I wont notice it, because I have modded mine.

Wear gloves & eye protection if you're worried about it. Definitely don't use metal tools. I would just pull it off, I've never had issues ripping these out of phones or tables. The glue is normally not that strong. After it's removed keep it away from water and sharp objects.

Fwiw, putting the part in the freezer will weaken the adhesive.

First: Don't use anything sharp. A punctured battery is a burning battery.
I've had this issue couple times when replacing MacBook batteries. I used the iFixit adhesive removal liquid and plastic cards shimmied underneath the battery, loosening the adhesive enough to remove the battery without force.
Here's the iFixit instructions for how to do a similar kind of battery removal.

Im curious why other manufacturares dont offer multilayout hotswap pcbs. Only the solder ones have different layouts usually.

like others have said, no need to risk it. that looks like a relatively basic black base, you can definitely find a replacement part for dirt cheap.

If you let the battery drain to 0% it will be much less dangerous to handle. Use a plastic tool like a credit card to scrape it off the adhesive. If you pierce the layers with a metal tool you could cause a reaction.

Someone else solved the mystery but this is:
Drop MT3 biip keycaps with the media and accent modifiers
Idobao id80v2 in white
Ja, The silly down arrow is upside down
Also I ordered some plate foam but it didn’t fit as idobao is now packaging it with their id80v3 pcb

Heck, I have a stock keeb I haven't modded at all, and I'm sure I wouldn't notice if the battery started swelling
