A step-by-step tutorial on designing custom mechanical keyboard PCBs using KiCad, covering schematics, component placement, routing, and generating Gerber files for manufacturing. It is a written guide with images rather than software.
Use cases
- design a custom keyboard pcb
- learn kicad for keyboard design
- how to route a keyboard pcb
- generate gerber files for a keyboard board
- beginner guide to pcb design for keyboards
- make a handwired keyboard into a pcb
When to choose
- you want to learn keyboard PCB design from scratch with KiCad
- you need a beginner-friendly walkthrough from schematic to manufacturing
- you are building a custom mechanical keyboard
When to avoid
- you need general PCB design guidance unrelated to keyboards
- you want software or tooling rather than a written tutorial
- you need up-to-date instructions for the latest KiCad version
