Ever wanted to 3D print your own custom mechanical keyboard? Well, I did just that! From designing the layout to wiring it by hand and doing the firmware—this was one crazy project. There were definitely some hiccups along the way (I may have gone overboard with standoffs), but in the end, it's totally worth it. I’m sharing all the steps, the challenges, and the final product. Stay tuned because there’s a Part 2 coming with some insane custom keycaps!
