In this project 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 project will teach 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
