    As an ECE graduate and planning to create my own mechanical keyboard by 3d Printing plastic bottle filaments for my recycled themed MKB, this is what I'm following for my PCB except, I did designed mine from scratch using copper clad. You should be proud of yourself for this.

    My only experience is soldering JST connectors on faulty USB C daughterboards and coding a bunch of elementary Java programs but I do own more than 30 keyboards. I've built a few of them and also made custom Poron sheets of different thickness using my laser cutter for those I made and some factory made. THIS is next level though.

    I think you can make keycaps from resin. The silicone molds sounded pricey but it might be worth looking into

    • @koovin02
      @koovin02  Před rokem +4

      That's true. But I think my focus on the project as a whole was more about hand's on engineering rather than making something 100% from scratch, so it didn't make sense to spend some money making dozens of identical pieces from a mold I didn't design

    You make fun of the past but at the same time use ancient atmega and qmk. Use new rp2040 and kmk. Rp2040 is widely available, costs just $2 and is more powerful. Kmk is much easier to set up and customize.
