My Custom Keyboard

 

YGTeeth55

This is My Custom Keyboard, I named it "YGTeeth55"

 

I used Gateron Low  profile  switches, Hot Swap Socket, SuperMini nrf52840, ZMK, Wireless.

 

If you try to make own custom keyboard, I recommend gateron switches.

 

Kailh choc V1 =

pros : many options

cons : can't use cross stem (MX keycap style)

 

Kailh choc V2 =

pros : cross stem

cons : can't get hot swap sockets. feels scratchy than gateron.

(if you're going to solder without socket, kailh full POM switch would be a good option.)

Edit - Kailh Choc Sockets seem support Choc V2

 

Kailh full POM =

pros : cross stem, good typing feels

cons : can't get hot swap sockets. a little bit expensive

 

Gateron Low Profile 2.0 = 

pros : cross stem, many options, can get sockets from market, more stable keycaps on stem(my personal opinion)

cons : came out full POM switch, but only tactile

 

Kailh is not friendly to indivisual makers.

in my experience, if they notice you're a indivisual maker, stop replying.

and they don't sell sockets.

 

I wanted to make hot swap socket keyboard, so i choose gateron's.

 

one more thing,

specific column died 4 times, so I tried to figure it out.

short problem, battery problem....

 

my conclusion is not to update firmware without connected battery.

(no problems yet)
