keyboard-pcb-guide VS klepcbgen

I followed this guide to get me started and I've gotten to the point where I'd like some feedback to make sure I'm not missing anything important. I'm about to order parts so I can start working on the any custom footprints I'll need and translating the schematic into a PCB for manufacturing.

I referred to this guide to get the libraries and also for connecting the switches and diodes. Really helpful even at the end where you generate the files for production.

Now I have largely just directly been copying from a guide here and from how I have laid it out so far I have no auto routing errors and no design rule check errors but know this doesn't mean it will work. Would really appreciate a look at the whole board to confirm functionality but especially want to confirm if I have done the follow correctly:

I designed the circuit while looking at your "Keyboard PCB Guide" on GitHub. (Because I happened to be designing a similar PCB)

i do! i used this guide but it is over 5 years old. It is recommended to use the updated guide here . both of the guides tell you how to work with kicad (pcb design software) and most importantly how the basic circuit should be build.

As an alternative, you can use a kicad project generator like the one I made : https://github.com/jeroen94704/klepcbgen

If you want to create a mechanical keyboard PCB, there are several dedicated tools for that, including one I made: https://github.com/jeroen94704/klepcbgen

then use https://github.com/jeroen94704/klepcbgen this guide to put it into kicad. the guide is kinda flawed because to make the pcb it used parts that are no longer available but i figured out how to hook up all the switches to a pro micro so its a lot easier and you can actually get the parts.

ok so you make a keyboard layout with this: http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/ and download the json file and then you follow the steps here https://github.com/jeroen94704/klepcbgen and copy paste the codes into command prompt and you get a pcb with you specific layout and all you need to do is connect the traces. but the problem is that there are components that are used and i but not listed so i can make a BOM file so the board can be printed. every time i try to open the schematic view it says there was an error and i don't know what i should do to fix it or even if i can.

Here area some resources: https://makeakeyboard.com/ https://github.com/jeroen94704/klepcbgen https://github.com/BathroomEpiphanies/KiCAD-Keyboard-Tutorial https://wiki.ai03.com/books/pcb-design/page/list-of-kicad-keyboard-parts-libraries

I kinda cheated, theres a tool that takes KLE files and automatically generates a pcb design for them. You still have to connect everything, but it does all the tedious layout for you. Heres the github https://github.com/jeroen94704/klepcbgen

A custom PCB by u/bigbrobewatching (pics). What's more interesting though, is the workflow: KLE, KLE PCB generator I wasn't aware of & the firmware builder by Ruiqi Mao.

Here’s the github https://github.com/jeroen94704/klepcbgen Basically you import a json from kle and then it spits out a mostly finished kicad file, so it pretty much takes all the tedious work out of it. You still have to route all the traces but it’s pretty great
