Title: Fantastic keyboard
Post by: playground on Mon, 24 March 2014, 05:04:53
Hello/Help.
I am currently developing an interactive kiosk prototype and want to make a really beautiful mechanical keyboard to it.
Since I want it to be properly backlit with big legends I will use pushbutton switches like this:

The buttons will be mounted on an oak wood board with individual holes cut out by a cnc for each switch.
Now I need help with soldering everything together (resistance needed for the led’s) and connect to a programmable microcontroller with usb or ps2 output. Make a proper keyboard of it basically.
I’m not very good with electronics so I need help. Anyone who know a keyboard person located in Stockholm, Sweden I can contact for this? Yes, I’m ready to pay for it of course.
