Basic Keyboard PCB Concepts

[trigun0x2]

Hey guys!
I'm new to designing PCBs and such so I was just wondering if there's a thread/link/video/blog/lecture/walldrawing about how the circuits and wiring work in a keyboard? And also how/why it all connects to the teensy.

Thanks!

How does this work for you?

As to where to connect on the Teensy metalliqaz has just added a custom matrix option to his Easy AVR firmware so download the beta and have a read of doc/handwire.txt for which pins to use, if you want an easy option
