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.

Anybody who knows anything about coding, electrical components (SMD soldering) and keyboards understands this is baller af... 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 Жыл бұрын

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.

Hold down the reset button on the pcb then plug in the pcb. It should wipe the firmware and the pcb should show up on qmk toolbox again, then you can reflash.
