    came over from your val content and im shocked and extremely intrigued. what kind of background do you have in this field? I did some basic tinkering with arduinos for a physics lab in uni and didn't think much of it, but now I'm realizing i was just ignorant of what you can actually do with this kind of knowledge/experience and i want to learn more.

      would love to see you cover the code that controls this board. at least that I could wrap my head around😅

      Thanks for watching 😌.
      I have an electrical engineering background but the courses I did at uni didn't prepare me for doing these kind of projects; it's just about doing projects in your own time and learning.

    Oh god please never slot in all the switches at once into hotswap sockets, it's the best way to pop a socket.
    Also you could probably still implement some sound dampening. A sheet of laser-cut EVA foam between the plate and board and maybe like a thin sheet of PE foam between the board and case would only take a few millimeters more and would greatly help sound-wise.

    This is really cool, love these type of projects. Def earned a sub.
    But as a keyboard nerd I can't help but suggest a couple things. You could add some foam under your PCB, and between the plate and pcb, as well as tape mod the bottom of the PCB. Use some long pull linear switches, also lube the switches I think you would be surprised how it sounds.

    Hey. I would just like to know how you’re testing your pcb for functionality. Also I took basic electronics in university but never applied my knowledge and would find it interesting how you know how to wire the components. What research do you do etc.

    I want to build a product from scratch like you. But I lack the electronics can suggest any resources from a where I can learn electronics from scratch and reach to point where I can develop my own pcb and products just like you.

      I recommend starting with development boards such as Arduino/ESP32. Build random things and you'll learn as you go.

    That is an absolutely amazing build! Nice work.
    I know you mentioned potentially selling this as a product, but on an individual basis it might prove to be prohibitively expensive? It might be easier to get off the ground with something like a group buy? That way you could get at least some savings through economy of scale
    Also, you could sell the STL? (or whatever the correct format is) files for the PCBs (keyboard and controller), either separately or as a bundle? I'd definitely pay for those.
