    I developed something similar (PCB only, no cases) as KiCad plugin: https://github.com/adamws/kicad-kbplacer - it uses layouts from keyboard-layout-editor.com as input.

    Once you get the hang of that, you can try using a tool to automate the key positioning stuff. There's a tool that repositions your keys given a KLE json (https://github.com/adamws/kicad-kbplacer and I used to use one called "Keyboard Layouter"), and there's a tool to actually generate the skeleton project for you as well (https://github.com/jeroen94704/klepcbgen). Just make sure you have a hang of KiCAD, footprints, symbols, etc before you dive too deep.
