DIY Mechanical Keyboard | Arke

This is my Fully DIY Mechanical Keyboard Project (Code name: Arke).
In this series I will design and make a keyboard from the ground up.

The layout is based on the Iris Keyboard by Lewis Ridden (/u/GAMING_FACE).
Since Iris is a Greek god I chose Arke for my version ;)
Iris Layout: http://bit.ly/2Kg2ira

Some Notes:

  • The base plate is made to be milled from a 1.5mm plate but could also be printed (not recommended)
  • The main case was originally designed for threaded brass inserts, but there is also a version for straight taping into the plastic.
  • The magnets are glued in place
  • for the Wiring have a look at the video (as soon as it is online) Everything is modeled using Fusion 360.

    ### Used parts:

    Kailh White Box Switches
    White PBT DSA Keycaps
    FR4/G10(???) Plate
    M3x6mm Anodized Screws
    8x2mm Magnets
    Pro Micro
    Diodes: 1N4148
