Akihabara 40 keyboard

thingiverse

This keyboard is designed to be relatively easy to build with basic soldering skills and surface mount parts. It's a 40% keyboard that features an intuitive layout suitable for typists but may not be ideal for designers or programmers. To customize the firmware, users can access the files on https://kbfirmware.com/. The design's unique aspect lies in its modularity - it allows users to give their keyboards a fresh look by simply removing four 2.5mm screws and swapping out the laser-cut acrylic face plate. The photos demonstrate this process, but there's also an included blank face plate for others to experiment with their own designs, making each keyboard uniquely theirs. For further customization, I've shared the design files for the case on https://a360.co/2pgEc6e. Users are free to modify these files as they see fit, giving them full creative control over their keyboards' appearance and functionality.
