take a shot everytime he says "with that said" lol. jokes aside brilliant video, learned a lot!

I wantwant to say a big thank you for this video - I've designed a number of PCBs over the years (keyboards and other) and I still learnt some cool tricks that I didn't know about before!

Please make a keyboard with single switch pcbs and LEDs, I really want to make a hanwire with LEDs

I am sure this is a super dumb question, but I am going to ask anyway. How do I download your files off of Git? I am in the "Extras/Kicad" folder and see the three sub folders (3D models, footprints, Symbols), but dont know how to save them to my PC. When I googled it, it said I needed to use the green "Code" button and save as zip, but I dont see it. Thanks

What is it for?

This guide is succinct and remarkably comprehensive. You've single-handedly made keyboard design accessible.

Thank you! Now vial detected my handwired macropad. I spent all day figuring out what's wrong, it turns out I need to use "QMK-Vial" (before I try to compile and flashing using "qmk_firmware" and vial not detect my macropad). Anyway, for future video, I rather to view the code longer rather than see the speaker (you), or even if I don't see the speaker at all it will be no problem. You can show your face at intro or at closing. Just a suggestion that you don't need to follow. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

If I have thinner copper wire (say 0.5 mm) could I just use it to connect the rows and columns to the arduino

If I was designing a tiny keyboard meant for thumb typing, is it usually okay to omit the diodes since you normally won't be pressing more than two keys at a time? I'd be using a special "shift" key with dedicated pin to access extra symbols, etc.

how has the battery level been so far?

If i want to make smaller buttons, for like a very small keyboard i can use a simple micro switch which just closes the circuit between the connected pins when the button is pressed?

Where is the reset button exactly?

Hi I have a question is this PCB fully hotspawable with no solding required

I am wondering can you make a keyboard only using PCBs and no soldering

when I get rich I'm going to commission a build :) gorgeous, well done.

This was awesome - totally agree on the micro-usb situation on the Pico. Such a pain in the butt. Got me thinking, it might be good to design a little PCB that mounts on the bottom of the Pico and breaks out to a USB-C header.

Hey can anyone help me, i'm so confused. I have a keychron K2 and it's set up in english so the shift+3 function doesn't make a hash they make a £. I cant figure out how to type hash. i want to simply change what shift+3 does using VIA but i cant figure it out for the life of me, it's such a small thing you would think it would be simple. i would also love to change the shift+4 function to a euro sign as well because i live in the Netherlands. can anyone tell me the easiest way to do this? Much gratitude in advance

Why not use enameled copper wire? Insulated and burns off at 420C

I would like to use an old wireless keyboard and turn it into a USB keyboard with a wire. I want to remove the wireless controller board inside the keyboard and replace it with an Arduino. Is possible? Thank you.

You showed how to design cases and how to design pcbs. But you didn't show how to do both. I mean, now when we have pcb how to start to create case arround it. Especially - how to re-create the grid? Should we create pcb version with mapped cutouts for keys and import it to CAD program (like Fusion or onshape)? Or can we somehow directly import footprint image as sketch?

It seems like a good keyboard for workers as well. Does it rely solely on VIA for key customization, without additional software features like layers or double-tap functionality?

Hi there! İ made this design same as you did and got my hands on last month. I have been trying to load a firmware since than. can you help me to do it. thx...

I like the case, I use corne with a dongle (three split keyboards) and an oled display on it.

I have been looking into split keyboards but they are crazy complex or expensive. Finally, a project I think I could afford and do. Thank you for the video and posting the project. I would really go for a mostly assembled PCB board too. (I'm getting old and have a hard time seeing little diodes...lol)

Fantastic but it's quite bad to see the screen cover a bit wobbly. The best is to use a navy colored or actually midnight blue colored screen cover with navy choc blank. But there are no navy colored ones. But the fact is it evolved. Would be better to be used in VIA or QMK in the next upgrade Plus, I heard the news approx 6 months later, 5 column corne will have its aluminum case, too.

For everyone confused about QMK, you should watch his tutorial on QMK first.

So I have an idea and hopefully you can help me bring it to life I recently got into flight simulation on my Xbox as you may or may not know Xbox also accepts a regular keyboard as input I have the rest of my airplanes controls taking care of with thrustmaster joystick and quadrants but there are more switches on an airplane that there are buttons on my peripherals so some of those are binded to the keyboard what I want is to extend the keyboard to a series of physical analog switches to build my own simulation cockpit the peripherals available for Xbox are limited so there's nothing like that that exists my thought process is that a keyboard is a simple switch so how can I transfer that to a more realistic bigger switch? I was thinking of simply taking a mechanical keyboard apart and extending the switches with some wires but I don't know if that will work or if there's a better way

ZMK studio seems really cool. I really hope you will make a video on how to add it to my own keyboard.

FYI don’t make the same mistake I did. Don’t buy enamel coated copper wire as this will not conduct the signal! It’s meant for coils in electric motors.

nice chain

Any idea if the Lily58 will get a similar case?

can you add a display on a rp2040 mcu programed with POG ?

One possible issue with the low profile keys that the thumb may hit the edge of the case?

welcome to the world of low-profile wireless, we are on the cutting edge because "thock" has no utilitarian value

Awesome video. Didn't even know I needed to see this until last week when I decided to have a copy of a case I have modified slightly. Was told it would be a ton of work but you explained it simply and clearly so I can follow and send my files to be printed. Thank you, subbed.

You said that ZMK Studio works over bluetooth. How so? Can't find this options anywhere

Nice looking device. I just ran through the website builder... AU$699 🤯

I'm extremely late and I don't know why. Great video though! 😅😅

I would love to buy a premium case for my 3x5 Corne from Typeractive! I've had one in a 3D printed case for 1.5 years already and it's great!

It's so beautiful.... Sadly shipping to Germany is a pita..

This is peak glazing, other than that nice video

yet again, a great video! Thanks for sharing Joe :)

I don't understand why screens instead trackpoint
