Since there is not very much complexity, a project like this only qualifies for tier 4 with a budget of $50. Either make it into a hackpad, or make it into a split keyboard.

Hey, when I said to add the pcb shipping option, I meant the jlcpcb quote! You can expand on the shipping price and show the different options - just attach a screenshot of which one you chose! (It should be the cheapest one, usually global standard direct line) Thanks!

Thanks for listening! Just resubmit and add a the shipping option you choose for the pcb, so we can make sure its the cheapest one - other than this you should be all good to go :)

MADE THE CASE!!
So I just made the case and the plate for the keyboard. I think this is a great idea for many reasons. It will first of all give my project structure and will help me make it look better.

Hi! Great work on this, your pcb looks really well made. Right now, there is no fully assembled CAD model in your repo which is needed to be shipped. I'd also recommend making a case for this keyboard as that will also help protect it. Good luck!

CHANGED DIODES TO SMD123 AND MADE BOM AND FABRICATION FOLDER
So i realized that it would be kinda impossible to solder tiny SMD so i changed them to SMD123 which is possible to solder by hand. I also made the BOM in both INR and in USD.

ROUTED PCB AND MADE HOLES
I finished the routing and added some mounting holes. This was one hell of a journey. At first I did the routing fully then realized that my matrix was a bit off. I had to fix it and then I got back to work. I just have to do the silkscreen and BOM and then I will be done.

MADE SHEMATIC + PCB LAYOUT
I was thinking that regular keyboards are way too big. What if we did something different—something that lets you type with one hand while the other is busy doing important things (like eating Cheetos).
That’s where ZEUS comes from: a one-handed keyboard built around only the essentials. No extra keys, no clutter—just speed and control.
Type with one hand. Embrace the chaos.
