Custom Keyboards

The hobby of building a custom keyboard is massively gaining popularity at the moment.
To Build a Custom Keyboard you need 5 parts.

  1. Case

    The Case is basically just the Housing of the Keyboard. All the Parts get screwed into it, so that they get held in place.

  2. PCB

    The PCB is basically just the Motherboard of the Keyboard. You can either solder or just place the switches in, depending of which type of PCB you have.

  3. Switches

    The switches are the actuators of the typing. They send a signal through the PCB, which sends it over the Cable to the PC.

  4. Plate

    The Plate is inbetween the Switches and the PCB. The Stabilisers, which stabilize the longer keycaps are also mounted on the Plate.

  5. Keycaps

    The Keycaps are placed on the switches, so you can actually type. They come in different colors and sizes. There are also Printed Keycaps and blank ones.
