I Built This Custom Keyboard from Scratch

Yes it is interesting Please make a step-by-step video 😊

[@qamarkilani551]

Yes .. Pls make step-by-step video .. very cool project

[@ngduc8005]

Please make a step by step

[@manouchehrmail]

Everyone will be thrilled with your excellent step-by-step design video. So, please make it.

[@nafkt]

Waiting for your step-by-step video...

[@flintspike307]

I came to youtube looking exactly for the step by step as you have explained. There are many videos on youtube that explain the rough idea 'make a pcb, put on switches, use microcontroller' but for people who have no experience, it is less helpful. If you make the true step by step process, im sure many people will watch it, and it will be very very helpful to many people.

[@RobertFeranec]

it was my plan ... just it's not very motivating to see how YT buried this video :( Let's see how it goes

[@romancharak3675]

@@RobertFeranec How disheartening, Robert. YT is against real learning.

[@flintspike307]

@@RobertFeranec I do think that long form videos are doing very well recently. From what I understand, videos that are ~15 minutes tend to get a bit more support from the algorithm. If you are not interested in it, as it would be a big time investment for a potential flop, I totally understand though. But I imagine that if you were to make one LONG video, and not like a playlist, you could see more success with it. Anyway, I do with you good luck with whatever project you decide to pursue.

[@manglz]

There are a few custom keyboard build videos in youtube, but yours look definitely better than any of them. Apart from video processing, this opens a door for custom controls in EDA software, or even video games. Really nice job, thanks for sharing!

[@imesingh9709]

Yes please step - by - step!

You did a great job! Thanks for video🔥🔥

Yes please! Video, schematics, source code, everything! I need to replace my old Neopixel-Rubberbutton-Macrokeyboard! 😊

[@WorldOfCars31]

Please do a step by step guide! I love embedded systems and i already learned programming with c++. And i would love to laern more about pcb's and microcontrollers.

[@fqcolour]

Would love to see a step by step!

[@jmn1993]

I would love for a step by step video on this. I had a look at the sites, and I have no idea what I was doing haha. Interesting video and got me thinking of making something similar as well. Thank and I hope you do consider making a further video about this!!!

Spot on Robert! ❤

[@smgvbest]

Most definitely do the step-by-step video. I'm looking at this for a custom keyboard for use in flight sims (specifically DCS)

[@krzto]

Looks awesome! Definitely want to see the step-by-step for the smaller keypad!

[@sanches2]

That is an amazing build and wonderfully documented. While easy, it is still a lot of work, and the feature ideas are really neat. Congratulations!

[@aarondcmedia9585]

This looks like far more than a keyboard. I would love to see a video tutorial on how you put it together.

2:38 what do you mean? of course we want a full step-by-step tutorial!

[@moguzates]

[@anvyfpv]

Awesome work as always, Robert! Did you consider Hall sensor for knobs? In fpv radio are very common. They bring the advantage of not ruin the potentiometers because there's no contact. (Y)

[@RobertFeranec]

tried, but expensive

[@alaeddinekh3716]

very interesting. a step by step video will be the cherry on top

It looks awesome. Please make the step-by-step video. Thanks in advance!

[@666aron]

Fantastic "little" custom keyboard. I would be interested in the step-by-step guide also.

[@dennisfahey2379]

Very nice. Some thoughts: 1) Ergonomics - If you look at high end interface tools the way in which you work is taken into account. Does it sit on your lap or on the desktop. If on the desktop does it need a wrist "rest" or hand "heel pad". Can you work within an operational mode with minimal hand movement or can you stay focused on the workflow with your hand in a "home position". 2) Add a color LCD with Context (or mode) that allows you to pick a phase in the workflow and change the functions of "home" keys on the fly. For example when trimming video edits - everything to mark, set cut-in, cut-out, select sources, etc should be millimeters from finger tips. Expert systems have this with tiny LCD keycaps that change for mode. 3) The timeline rotary encoder should have a dot depression to allow you to put your finger on the dot and spin it without gripping the wheel. 4) Application specific macros for "rote" tasks. Say you are done and you want to publish (transcode etc). Should be one button that does it all when you select that mode. We've all seen these modular "bricks" keyboard solutions. Not a new concept but nice. This helps you build role specific setups easily. Very nice.

[@RobertFeranec]

If these keyboard projects will get interest I am happy to tweak them. It's very interesting to work on these.

[@dennisfahey2379]

@@RobertFeranec - I'd be surprised if it didn't. The reality is the keyboard mouse interface is really designed for word processing dating back the Xerox Alto/Star. That was purpose built for a secretary/admin and no one else. When you abstract yourself away from the limited solution and look at the overall efficiency you can easily see a need for all sorts of input devices. Xerox even pioneered the touchpad (they called it the "Cat") shortly after the mouse - realizing that there were alternate ways of working. Have you ever caught yourself thinking how stupid programming expressions are because they had to map to a Selectric typewriter QWERTY keyboard world? Then you look at DITROFF and its "mark up language" again - limited by primitive keyboard options. So many compromises hampering efficiency. Taking your video editing reference - if you look at professional Post Production (or live) you see a lot of I/O going on. Audio decks with (automated) sliders, effects generators with wipers, source selection panels with tap buttons and "scrub" tactile soft buttons. In the newer 3D realm you see 3D Mice with (the needed) multidimension input. I/O is a big market but it has to be a low prices. I can recall when the Avid desktop editor came out they offered a keycap kit that were laser engraved commands with color coded modal grouping. You just popped the standard keys off your PC and pressed on the new caps in the designated location.

[@michaelo2l]

I've just finished building my own from scratch employing QMK and VIA, the keyboard section works perfectly but the RGB and macros need work, it's quite involved... I hope you do a step-by-step video, as your videos are a great learning tool, perhaps I will get answer to some of my outstanding questions, so I can complete mine...
