As explained here (
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=79603.msg2053482) I wanna try to build a MS Sculp/Natural keyboard.
My current keyboard is now falling apart (with some keys in the numpad not working) so I'm finally forced to move
.
The harder part is build the curved case but I have a friend that will try to do it in wood. So let's ignore this part. This apply to the plate too.
I need help in know what else I need to source/buy. I'm ONLY concerned about clone the design of the MS keyb and put mech keys there. I open to suggestion about anything else.
This is what I have for now:
- Keys: Gateron Brown (the less noisy, right?).
https://www.massdrop.com/buy/smd-led-compatible-gateron-switches- KeyCaps: Waiting for a good looking blacks. My main concern is if a sculpted keycaps will not work here, so where find ones with the top flat? I not not need something fancy, anything that work is fine to me.
- Controller. I read that Teensy++ 2.0 is the way to go, but nothing that price is not far from arduino, will be fine to use arduino instead? (Clueless here, I haven't use before a microcontroller)
- Is necessary to buy stabilizers?
- In the previous thread someone tell me I can wire manually the keys, so I don't need a PBC
- I need diodes, resistors, others?
