HP 200 LX Keyboard Adapter
I'm working on a project at the moment, basically sticking a raspberry pi into the case of an old 200LX palmtop computer that broke on me. The start of this project is to adapt the old keyboard so that it can be used as a standard USB keyboard. I used an old Teensy 2.0 microcontroller and kbfirmware.com (very old i know) to so this, along with a custom interposer PCB to adapt the very weird pad spacing on the keyboard connector to the Teensy.

Keyboard Firmware
I have created the firmware here

Custom QMK firmware help
In general you search the qmk repo for your mcu, then pick similar keyboard to your own, then hand edit the layout.h file and keymap.c. a macropad should be easy to figure out. for complex layouts such as a fullsize you could use a broken code generator such as https://kbfirmware.com/

Which keyboard would you recommend for a beginner
Idk man, I binge watched more hours of keyboard content, than I'd ever like to admit with how little I've done with that. I guess, I get obsessive easily.Check out Joe Scotto for amazingly clean and tidy handwired boards, Ben Vallack for insane minimalistic crazy designs and layout content.There's Keyboard Layout Editor that works nicely with plate generator and QMK firmware generator so there's one workflow. Also check out ergogen, it's amazing, although I didn't learn KiCAD yet, so never used it to create anything more than a quick visualisation. There's lots of great materials on how keyboards are build and how they work. QMK docs have very insightful handwiring guide.

I printed an ortho 41 Key and named it after my dog
This is Stardust, named after my dog Ziggy. It's a 41 Key Ortho. My goal with this keyboard was to be able to see if I could fully realize it without ordering anything besides switches. I used an old blank ABS keycap set, some stabs I had laying around, and a Elite C controller. Then I 3D printed the case, and added M2 bolts and threaded inserts to hold it together. I ordered Kiwi switches and designed everything myself using Keyboard Layout Editor, ai03 Plate Generator, KBFirmware and Fusion 360. It was printed on an Ender 3.

Want to build a 60% Keyboard
I tried to wire everything up in rows and columns and followed that through kbfirmware.com
-
Update: I almost got it working
I used this site https://kbfirmware.com. I’ll have to check the idea with the reset pin. Thanks. But I thought the MCU resets if the pin is connected to ground.
- wanted to build this board but i dont have the time to do the pcb..anybody knows a similiar board?

I'm getting this while trying to reflash my pro micro, I have no idea what to do here. The solutions for the butterfly error didn't work out.
I didn't actually write the code, it was a hardwire I designed. I used kbfirmware.com, all I have is a file.

this is literally a Keychron V3.
Keychron C1 TKL Board with non-RGB backlighting; foam, tape modded and flashed with SonixQMK Tecware PBT OEM Keycaps (White and Grey) with the Keychron C1's orange ESC key which is ABS Akko Jelly Purple Tactiles with the modifiers (except both Left and Right shift) being Akko Rose Red Linears Didn't bother to lube them, I'm just lazy and don't have a switch tray :D Stock plate-mount stabs lubed with Krytox 205g0 and Dielectric Grease

I bought a k2v2 white backlight, non hot swappable, plastic frame for $40. Should I have gone for a better keyboard? I’m a student and this is my first mechanical keyboard. The RK84 also seemed like a good option but it’s $20 extra and I read reviews where people said typing isn’t great on it.
I think you should give it a while and get used to it and pay attention to https://github.com/SonixQMK/qmk_firmware and in particular this PR https://github.com/SonixQMK/qmk_firmware/pull/318 which will bring QMK/VIA support to the white backlight version of the K2V2. Something you will never get with the RK84.

custom firmware for C1
In theory you could use SonixQMK. But this will require you configure the source code, compile it and then download it to the device. You could then use the Via utility to reassign the keys. This might work, but I have found Sonix QMK to unstable in the long term on some Keychron keyboards. No one is going to tell you how to do this with a simplified complete set of instructions. You may get stuck with a keyboard that doesn't work and if you aren't experienced or don't have the tools there may be no way back.

K6 vs K6 Pro (QMK/VIA)
Well not quite... While the K6 pro supports qmk and via out of the box, there is also support for the normal K6 within this fork of QMK https://github.com/SonixQMK/qmk_firmware

K2 qmk firmware
How can I compile and flash the qmk software from here(https://github.com/SonixQMK/qmk_firmware) onto my Keychron K2?
-
Built my first budget keeb! GMMK 1 Compact
Just as an FYI, if you're ever adventurous, if you have a rev2 or rev3 GMMK Compact, you can load QMK/VIA from the Sonix Branch.

How safe or reliable is using kbfirmware.com in 2022?

Replace MCU on keychron K2 V2.
The SonixQMK fork has support for Keychron K2. I'm not sure if this is for the V2 or not, but it could be worth checking out.

Jumped inside the rabbit hole. Keychron K2V2 Brown Hot - Swappable. My first mechanical keyboard thanks to Meckeys
Yup ! It's supported : https://github.com/SonixQMK/qmk_firmware/tree/sn32_master/keyboards/keychron/k6

Best means to remap K3a1 on Linux?
While there is QMK for the K3 https://github.com/SonixQMK/qmk_firmware/tree/sn32_master/keyboards/keychron/k3 it seems to be for the RGB variant only while your K3A1 seems to be white backlight according to https://www.keychron.com/blogs/production/project-update-for-the-k3-pre-orders-1
