🐛 Fix matrix traces

Had to be moved because of the outline change on the top right switch.

🔧 Refine board constraints and components positions

I think this time is the one! The encoder will be able to accept 20 mm knobs which I feel are better to use.

⏪️ Put the USB connector back down (recessed)

Because most cables used with the keyboard will be straights (and not right angled), I prefer to just recess the connector and keep 2 mm margin on each side for the male connector to fit in. That makes the PCB more rigid overall (compared to having that 2 mm-wide finger for the through-hole pads of the connector), but of course prevents the use of most right-angled connectors.

✨ Finish board outline

Fix thumb cluster’s rounded corners. Add rounded corners near connectors. Add milled slots for USB-C connector’s corners.

✨ Update lots of stuff (and make the thumb cluster round)

♻️ Replace LED and reroute them

They are flipped on odd rows to have a better layout not requiring any layer switch because of the new LED footprint with mouse ears.

♻️ Split and improve switch and LED footprints

Tighter tolerances and split so that PCBA isn’t getting confused by the footprint having both components on top (switch) and bottom (LED).
