If the PCB is desoldered already why not go the extra step and create a custom layout with the keys you have and get a plate laser cut for that?
As it looks you could get pretty close to a somewhat standard 60% layout.
Nice board, btw! I've been on the hunt for one of these for a while now.

after a break iam finaly back here my progress folks
the lasercut was a good tip but to be honest i was to lazy for that ...so i just cut the left side off and welded it on the right side xD and just painted it than it was time to figure out the layout ....its not that bad i guess (i know the soldering is allrdy done but i lost the foto,and yes the numpad is wrong i fixd it no worries) sadly iam 3-4 switches short to make it like this (if someone have spare switches i would love to buy them ) anyways time to swing the soldering iron
ah almost forgot to mention yes i cleand every single one of those switches

Nice solution, how did it turn out (hard to judge from the pictures alone), as in are the keys still aligned with the rest and so on. Those red keycaps look amazing!
