DIY Split Keyboard from Scratch
Big thanks to PCBWay for sponsoring this video. Check them out here and get a $5 coupon: https://www.pcbway.com/setinvite.aspx...
Even with all the keyboards I've built in the past, none of them met all my criteria for a daily driver, so I built this ortholinear split keyboard with a bunch of extra keys to have all the functions. I also finally billet machined my first keyboard frame on the RatRig KillerBee which was quite a challenge.
