I'm new to Geekhack, and electronics/microcontroller projects in general, as it were. I'm on a quest for the perfect keyboard!

I'm planning on building my own, specifically because I want to try out some ideas I have for a firmware. I like the look of the Poker, but I'm not sure if it will fit the Teensy++ I've bought. The idea of building a keyboard from scratch would be much more interesting for me though, I think.

I hope to have a lot of fun with it! It'll be my first proper electronics project since I was about 7-8 years old.

Thanks! I definitely have a lot of learning to do :P if you know of any good resources, let me know! I've been told that Digital Systems by Tocci is good, I might pick it up.

I don't have a Poker yet, I'm still tossing up whether or not I should get one. I might get one to provide the parts for my project, I'm not sure if that's feasible though.

The Dox KB project doesn't look like it's seen much activity in a while - what work does it need to reach completion? All the attachments on the original post are gone now as well, which I imagine doesn't help newcomers.

The site got transferred, and old attachments are all broken.

Bpiphany (Prinsvalium) had a thread before about using KiCad to design the PCB, but the link for it I have is broken.

I've followed him and I've also used KiCad. It's pretty good for free software.
