I am building a hand-wired 60% keyboard made of 61 low-profile Choc v2 switches and a Raspberry Pi Pico MCU, with rgb leds!!
this keyboard is really cool and i think the single keyswitch pcb is creative.
that being said - you should polish your case more! right now it's just a straight rectangle.
also - your image links are broken! i recommend re-pasting them using this plugin: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=dari.paste-cdn
Hello!
There are a few things that need to be changed before it can be submitted:
- Please add the purchasing links in the BOM.
- I'm not sure what you are talking about for the PCB - Per key. From what I understood, you don't need that, and you just need one PCB (The one that relates to the schematic that is attached).
Once these changes are made, we will take another look, and if everything is good, we will approve! :)
Entry #7
- Switched to printing-legion
- Amazon Cost increased due to taxes and shipping :(
hi, super great project! everything about this is good- however we do 3d printing through #printing-legion. it'll be much cheaper instead of JLCCNC. after you swap that out in your BOM, I can approve.
Entry #6
- Calculated Cost and sliced 3d prints to fit on printers
Entry 5
-I have made a pcb attachment for each switch for rgb leds
-Updated the plate and case to support proper stabilizers
Entry 4
- I have completed my 3d printed plate and my case and they are ready to get printed
-Now I am basically waiting on getting approved and funded
Entry #3
I am scraping the pcb due to many reasons
-
Pcb manufacturing is expensive especially with pick and place
-
It add unnecessary complexity in my build
-
Hand wiring is cheaper
Entry #2
I have completed the layout of the keyboard and managed to put the holes for the stabelizers, now I need to wire it up an make all the other things like the case and plate.
Entry #1
I have spent some time making a schematic. This is not my first time trying to make a schematic, as I have some experience with EasyEDA. To make this schematic, I followed a YouTube tutorial by Joe Scotto on how to Design Mechanical Keyboard PCBs with KiCad. I used his provided symbols and other resources for this schematic
