## Slots

The goal of the slot footprints library is to be able to create easily-manufacturable top plates for keyboards. The slots are simple

square cutouts with rounded corners so the tooling at PCB fabrication shops can easily route it.

**Note** - These footprints have not been tested yet for fabrication, or for correct fit on actual stabilizers.
