If there is a future revision of the Ergodash keyboard, would you consider increasing the space size of the holes for the Pro-micro to permit the use of sockets for the pro-micros? The current fit is quite snug and leaves no room for sockets to be added.

Since pro-micros are hard to de-solder and the keyboard and led connections are covered by the pro-micros, it would be very useful to be able to pull the boards off as needed.

An example is from Keebio. https://keeb.io/products/peel-a-way-sockets-for-pro-micros

I went ahead and ordered the hotswap sockets from kebio since it was cheap and I wanted to test the sizing. What is needed to enable hotswap sockets for the pro-micro is to resize the holes on the keyboard pcb to be the same size as the holes for the LED lights below the key switches. The proposed change would only apply to the holes for the pro-micro.

Note: these proposed hotswap sockets are not compatible with the key switches; they are a different size.
