Right. That is why to test it and, if it works, have a new FPC printed with a Gerber file that will change the key placements, the size, etc. 
The Wombat interprets from USB to ADB or ADB to USB, that's all. Suitable for test benches, using ADB keyboard with a modern computer, or using USB with vintage Macs or Apple IIGS.
Each of my vintage Apple computers is hooked up to a Wombat. Then, each Wombat is hooked up to a USB KVM. From my USB 2.4 GHz wireless keyboard and mouse with the dongle in the KVM, I can switch between my four computers, including my modern daily driver, on the fly without any issues.

I like it so far, but wouldn't an LC II Board work better? IT's not that much bigger but you get color.
Did the keyboard cost you some pounds? I noticed the British pound in place of the number hash for the number 3 key. Interesting UK layout.
Oh! The backspace and | \ keys are gone!
What's that paper covering over that area where two red jumper wires running into?
What did you yank the LCD screen from?
Fantastic job with the yanking and laying out, @-SE40-! I am excited to see how your project goes!

LC II.
LC - 16 MHz 68020, up to 16-bit color video
LC II - 16 MHz 68030, up to 16-bit color video
LC III - 25 MHz 68030, up to 16 bit color video
Do that next project?

Okay, a bit difficult to find the actual dimensions of the LC III logic board, but I understand that the LC III case is 2.9 H x 12.2 W x 15.3 D (measured in inches).
So, knowing that the area for the HDD and FDD is about 8 inches, give or take. Then, the PSU is about 3 inches wide, give or take. That means the logic board's dimensions are estimated at about 1 H x 9.2 W x 7.3 D (in inches). The 1-inch height estimate is due to the SIMMs.

Interresting board.
Think thats same basic size as the mac plus. I will measure lateron.
There must be some logic there from the apple engineers….

Interestingly, the LC III is missing a chip in the U25 location. And it turns out that @max1zzz did an LC III reloaded board.
@max1zzz, can you please tell us the dimensions of the LC III board? Why didn't Apple put a chip in the U25 location on the stock LC III board?

Wondering about the thickness of that KBD assembly? I suggested the cheapos I'm using because that would not be an issue.
While mechanical and so being much too thick for your build, the IIgs KBD is Snow White purity incarnate. If you can noodle out a rubber dome membrane interface with printed adapters for an unmodified set of its chickletized keycaps, I think you'd be good to go?
Characters printed on lower left corners of chickleyt keycaps in italics mesh nicely with the look and feel of that prototype?
Explanation's likely not clear, in visual thinking/morning musing mode.
