## What it is
A collection of free-to-build handwired mechanical keyboard and macropad projects with 3D-printable cases, firmware, and build guides. It includes over 19 designs that fit on a common 220x220mm 3D printer and use Arduino Pro Micro or Raspberry Pi Pico controllers.

## Use cases
- build a handwired mechanical keyboard at home
- find free 3D-printable keyboard case designs
- make a DIY macropad with a Raspberry Pi Pico
- learn handwiring keyboards without a PCB
- get QMK or ZMK firmware for a custom keyboard
- build a split ergonomic keyboard from scratch
- start a first DIY keyboard project with minimal parts

## When to choose
- you want free, well-documented keyboard designs you can 3D print and handwire
- you're a beginner looking for guided DIY keyboard builds with firmware included
- you want variety, with 19+ keyboard and macropad layouts to pick from

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready PCB or commercial keyboard product
- you want a plug-and-play keyboard without soldering or handwiring
- you need permissively licensed design files for redistribution or PCB conversion (CC BY-NC-SA, non-commercial)

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
