I was offered a bet by a friend for the cost of materials that I couldn't build a the curved ergodox keyboard in two and a half months, and I have a few questions I want to get answers about before I accept it.
I've never built a keyboard from scratch, but am very comfortable soldering and am at an engineering school with tools and 3d printing readily available, but I'm not sure exactly how to design the circuit for the keyboard, or the theories behind it like why things are always wired by row/column, and how that would work for an ergodox.
So in the end:
Is building a keyboard like this possible in 2.5 months?
Should I try to 3d print
this, or recreate
this and use a pcb?
Do you know of any good resource to learn about the wiring?
Thanks!
