In this video I look in detail at the build and soldering process for my one-key (per hand) keyboard. These PCBs were kindly sent to my by PCBWay and look great. This board, although a follow up to my April 1st video is actually a good way of showing the component build log for the custom keyboards I have built recently, including The Card, The Flame, The Piano and The Flipper. Thanks to my sponsor PCBWay for supporting this video. PCBWay offer PCB fabrication, CNC and 3D Printing and more. They have been super efficient and friendly with all the projects I’ve used them for and I’m very happy to recommend them.
