That looks great, I’m just lurking here and have never built one myself but I bet it’s super rewarding!
Same. lurking here is like watching cooking shows on a strict diet.
Keyboards aren't difficult to build nowadays with what's available. Worth looking at if you're interested.
Although it can get expensive pretty quikly and if you're not the type to enjoy making things like this then there are a lot of good premade ones you can buy now.
Also if you find this entertaining, then you could also try going down the rabbithole of handwired keyboards.
I absolutely love tinkering, building, and fiddling with things until I get it just right. Watching scotto was like offering crack to someone who mentioned they enjoyed Ritalin once. Cheers :)
If you like tinkering and creating then it's also worth checking out DIY perks.
Also, there's another computer peripheral I've made in my post history if you're interested. It's a fighting gameleverless controller that I made from scratch.
