A keyboard assembled with a handwired switch matrix in a 3D-printed case.

Handwired keyboard — completed project.

Wiring a keyboard matrix

I wired the rows and columns with 22-gauge solid-core wire and 1N4148 diodes inside a 3D-printed case. The work took roughly 14 hours.

This project was soldering practice and an exercise in keeping a repeated wiring pattern organized across the whole keyboard.
