Do I need a custom PCB / Hand wiring for this layout?

[Zorox]

Hi guys,

Im thriving for the best layout which fits most in my usage. And I'm wondering if there is any PCB out there is available for it. The idea came after I order the Whitefox, but its PCB doesnt allow me to place  the arrow keys like this. Drilling Whitefox's PCB maybe an option, but I try to avoid it.



I also want to thank Matt3o for his idea of intergrating the arrow keys in a compact layout, and that he will share the PCB/CAD design of the Whitefox after the GB.

Teensy and hand wiring will be your best option. Unless you want to design a PCB and get that made, minimum order is usually five or so.

Nice layout! How do you plan to access "-" and "_"? I suppose the up navigation key is dual function for this, am I right?

I have considered hand wiring too, but would like to find a PCB first. Hand wiring is just my last choice

Yes Func+Up = "-" and Shift+Func+Up = "_"

It may be your last choice but it's your only option. You're not going to find a premade PCB with that layout unless you want to design one yourself.

Don't be afraid of hand wiring! Hand wiring is fun! ...or at least therapeutic in some Zen meditational way Also, soldering handwired boards outside in the summer, getting a tan at the same time, is a hot tip from me

Thank you guys for encouraging Im following the topics/tutorials of hand wiring now. pretty new to custom thingy, so it could be slow going small steps by steps
