Keebio-Parts.pretty VS Mech-50

Also have the info on one of the layers in https://github.com/keebio/Keebio-Parts.pretty/blob/master/Kailh-PG1350-2u.kicad_mod

I've been worried about the setup costs for the various pcb assembly services. I'll re-evaluate the pricing with a single-switch pcb design. Fortunately there is a footprint from keebio which I can use.

This. They've also published publicly the results of converting some measurements into footprints here

The folks at keeb.io have a great footprint library on github that has footprints for ski mini and 'dumb' rgb undermount leds too. https://github.com/keebio/Keebio-Parts.pretty

I found these repositories pretty useful https://github.com/tzarc/reversible-kicad https://github.com/ebastler/marbastlib https://github.com/foostan/kbd https://github.com/keebio/Keebio-Parts.pretty and as u/ComBlockWither wrote: you can also use other peoples boards.

https://github.com/keebio/Keebio-Parts.pretty though i have modified it slightly so i might reupload that part lol

i'm using this library: https://github.com/keebio/Keebio-Parts.pretty it also has pro micro footprints, and the symbols are linked in the readme also

Yeah, the footprint supports standard switches, low profile choc switches and I believe also alps! you can get it here

I’ve been putting off sharing this because it didn’t quite feel finished, but progress is slow so decided to give it a share! It’s a custom 50% ortho powered by an elite-c, with three extra keys on the left (I use for media control). The PCB and base plate are designed by me with KiCad.

ha ha, well, I just took a bunch of precreated footprints that Keebio published and rearranged them until they did what I needed. I've made the repo public, if you want to follow along (just don't order the pcb until I can confirm it works!)
