made the schematic n PCB for the right side
so, i completely forgot to journal after making the schematic, but here i am. i completed the right side's schematic, wiring and moved the components to the proper positions in the pcb. now, time for the dreadful routing....

almost done with the left side
Made the schematic and the pcb. i made a custom placeholder ish symbol and footprint for the usb c port for the intercommunication between either sides of the keyboard cuz i plan to buy those boards with the port attached. all that's left for the left side is to wire everything to the actual uC :D
