What parts are required for a keyboard?
« on: Wed, 20 January 2016, 22:43:57 »
I was just wondering what parts are required to build a keyboard because I feel like building one... Atm I believe there is case, pcb and switches? I'm probably forgetting something though

Cheers

Case, PCB (Controller, Diodes, Resistors, LEDs), Plate, Screws, Keyswitches (Stickers, Springs, Lube, Stems), Stabilizers, LEDs, Keycaps, USB Cable. All the parts that could possibly go into a keyboard.

Essential are Case, PCB (Controller, Diodes), Screws, Keyswitches, Stabilizers, Keycaps, USB Cable.

this simple answer lists most parts, and also gives a vague cost (although nearly a year ago now).

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
