Title: Guide for designing a custom Topre keyboard
Post by: attheicearcade on Thu, 09 February 2017, 13:57:56

I put this together today: https://github.com/tomsmalley/custom-topre-guide

It outlines the work needed to produce the PCB, plate and firmware for Topre keyboards.

I hope you find this useful or interesting!

Interesting, and thanks a bunch for sharing.

Have you made any PCB yourself? Would you show us?

Impressive. Where did you source the parts? Domes and springs mainly?

They were all from a Realforce.
