Trying a New PCB MCU Mounting Method

The ScottoSlant (PCB Edition) is a 38-key 0.25u row-staggered keyboard with a split 2u spacebar. It uses some very cheap Ajazz green switches along with $10 Aliexpress XDA matcha keycaps. Overall the build is neat but more than anything it was an excuse to test out a method of mounting an RP2040 behind the switches. It worked but some pins needed clipping to make it work fully.
