Visit https://pcbway.com/ for your next 3D printing project.
In this video I will show you my process for designing a handwired keyboard with a custom layout and how you can build your own DIY handwired mechanical keyboard. With a 3D printed mechanical keyboard plate, you can create a keyboard that is one of a kind. I will be showcasing every stage of the design process including 3D modeling and programing firmware. The keyboard uses a teensy 2.0 to run QMK Firmware. This build could also be completed with a Teensy 2.0++ This video will discuss the following topics:
How to design a custom keyboard layout
How to build a 3D printed keyboard
How to build a handwired keyboard
Easy way to write QMK Firmware
How to flash a teensy microcontroller
// You can build the keyboard in this video
