SO…
I am sitting here typing this on the keyboard that is featured here. Definitely isn't perfect but it works fairly well and was fun to build.
In order to build this, you will need 2 of the TopHousing and BasePlate with 1 each of the others. I am using an arduino pro micro with an adapter to usb-c to easily swap between keyboards, but would be just as easy to use a usb-c version.
This is sort of a hybrid between the regular hardwired system and the hotswap pcbs. I stuffed a bit of soft foam between the top plates and the bottom plates once the wiring was complete to support the plate and avoid the hotswap sockets coming undone too easily.
I included the .json file that works with kbfirmware.com for the layout I am using. This will allow you to also adjust the pins and layout the way you want to. I also ended up wiring diodes the opposite of the supposed normal, so be sure to check whether your diodes are pointing rows to columns or columns to rows before making your hex file.
The hotswap sockets used in this build are found here:
