# 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.
