Some time ago I started designing my own small keyboard: a small 28-key keyboard with a cyber look. The circuitry itself works, but the other parts still need some fine-tuning. Here are a few pictures of the prototype for you to see. The board will, of course, be open source/open hardware as soon as it's finished, so anyone who wants to can build it

This is so cool!
Any thoughts on a CrowdSupply run?

Thank you

No I don`t really want to do stuff like this. I don't want the stress with the tax office.
But when it's done I want to start a small groupbuy.
Small kits with all the parts you need at cost price + shipping.
If someone doesn't want to solder, it might be possible to get it pre-built . it's not this complex I could do this.
But first i have to finish this
