Mechanical Keyboard - Tada68
Description
In my search for a 3D Printed keyboard case, I came across the WhiteFox by @Matt3o. He has many build threads and videos that are extremely useful and has inspired me to try my hand at hand-wiring my own from scratch. I loved his WhiteFox build and design but was more interested in a Tada68 layout. This is a remix of his brilliant board with my ideas for a unique, custom keyboard. Also included are the "non standard" keys you will need for this layout. Here is the layout of the Tada68:  For this build I went for the cheapest mechanical keyboard I could make. To achieve this you will need patience because you will have order some parts on eBay or AliExpress from China. Heres what you will need: Teensy 2.0 - $11 (or buy a knock off for ~$6) Mini USB cable - $5 Rubber feet - $4-6 (or print them if you have TPU) Hardware - $4 Standard "OEM" Keycaps - $8-10 (for single color) 70 - Cherry MX style switches - $10 (MX Blue clones) 100 - 1N4148 Diodes - $3 3 - Costar plate mounted 2u stabilizers - $4 1 - Costar plate mounted 6.25u stabilizer - $2 Thin wire - ? Solder + Iron - ? Patience - ? <b>Added a how to add firmware via EasyAVR including all files for this same layout on my other keyboard here:</b> https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3478494 Enjoy and post your makes! <I>If you found my Things useful, treat me to a cup of coffee by using the PayPal button below :) </I> <form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick"> <input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="98PY7JLC48DJN"> <table> <tr><td><input type="hidden" name="on0" value="Buy me a cup of coffee">Buy me a cup of coffee</td></tr><tr><td><select name="os0"> <option value="Buy me a cup of coffee">Buy me a cup of coffee $3.00 USD</option> <option value="Buy me a massive cups of coffee">Buy me a massive cups of coffee $5.00 USD</option> <option value="Give me a caffeine coma">Give me a caffeine coma $10.00 USD</option> </select> </td></tr> </table> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD"> <input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynow_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!"> <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"> </form> ------------------------------------------------------------- <b> Update 1: Added v2 of Bottom Right Panel that holds in the teensy for a better fit. Also added v2 of the Left Side of the keyboard for a bigger and better fitting opening for the teensy microcontroller. Everything should now fit without modification.
