Hey William, this seems like a really cool project, but this is a max tier three. Please try to optimize your BOM, or pay the rest using your own funds. Even if the switches are an essential part of your project, most full size keyboards use choc or cherry switches...

Changed some stuff

Reviewer said i have to cost optimize my thing so i removed the keycaps so i will 3d print them mysel;f and also changed the multiplexers from mouser to lcsc to avoid shipping. Screenshot_20251101_151725

Hey William, please optimize your BOM to be cheaper! I also don't see your case so please add an image of your final project in your readme and update your journal with photo's of that too!

cHANGED the BOM

I changed the BOM and also changed the readme cause i realised in the bom my multiplexer was out of stock in LCSC so i switched to Mouser. I also relised that the price was off now and also i didnt put screenshots of my other shopping carts everything is in the README.

Reviewer Please Check the README!!!Screenshot_20251101_110548

Started PCB

Started PCB but ran into a problem where two components in a singular footprint was too close. Had to restart i just finished routing key 14 out of 61.Screenshot_20251030_205834

Did stabilizer things

CReated footprints for my stabilizer because i couldnt find them anywhere spent a good 30 minutes trying tho they are the gateron low profile stabilizers.Screenshot_20251030_191652

Finished Footprint

Finished footprint for the magnetic switch was going to put per key rgb but then figured to complex as that would exeed the amp rating of the pico which would force me to use a usb PD breakotu board. Now going to do the symbol for it and then i will start on the schematic

Starteds on the thing and also started on the footprint

First i started by creating the BOM and the plan file then i started on the footprint since i couldnt find any available footprint for my gateron low profile magnetic jade switch, i decided to make my own i have just done puting the sensor unter the place on the footprint next im going to move to the symbol and filling in the BOM
