I had some spare time, and wanted to play some more with KiCAD, so I sat down and designed a mechanical keyboard.
Schottky diodes for key isolation. As many keys mapped "sanely" as I could to a modern layout.
I've no plans on actually manufacturing it at this point. It's $22USD for the PCBs and $60USD for keyswitches (Plus I'd need stabilisers and the rest of the modern parts of a keyboard) but the design is mapped out :-D

Happy to share this with anyone who wants a copy. No idea if it'd even work :-D

Cheers!

OKM I have thrown the current version here: https://github.com/cheshirenoir/CreatiV ... alKeyboard

Once I have some $$$ I'll probably build one of these. Can't afford too many projects at once :-)
