What resources have you used to make this? I've tried to make my own pcb once using kicad. I was using rp2040. My goal was to make 60% keyboard to avoid buying a lot of switches but in the end only what i've done was small key hub. The main thing that was keeping me away from my goal was knowledge. I'm programming not designing and i have never before done anything related to designing pcbs nor i was aware how to work with popular MCU. I've found few articles about making keyboard matrixs and was using rp2040 documentation but i had problem with general electrical stuff. Do you recommend any basic course or material to fill those gaps?

I do like the aperture finish quite a lot, glad I got it over enigma black or something boring.

Finally got my Keychrone K1 se that I’ve been waiting for 2 months. I absolutely love the feeling from mechanical switches and the sound. Decided to go with gateron brown switches and it was right choice. However for some reason I ordered non-hotswap and white backlit option which I regret now, so I guess it’s not the last keeb I’m buying)
