Alternative to kbfirmware.com?
« on: Mon, 15 March 2021, 06:56:17 »
Hi guys,
i just got into keyboard building and was about to create the matrix for a old keyboard i wanted to refurbish and use USB with it.
But few days ago kbfirmware.com shut down their service.

Is there any alternative to this site?

thanks!

No, it's not used and once you've done firmware once and see what that actually did you realize that's not nearly as useful as you think it is.

Okay, good to know :)
