Introduction to DIY Keyboards: How to Make a Custom Keyboard
Overview
At Tech Book Fest 17, we will be distributing a technical book titled "Introduction to DIY Keyboards: How to Make a Custom Keyboard."
Cover
This book is designed for those who want to undertake and complete a DIY keyboard project. It starts from the basics of electronic circuits and does not require any prior knowledge. Since it aims to be a practical introductory book, it includes steps for purchasing parts, assembling the circuit, and ordering the PCB. Why not create a custom keyboard that is tailored to you and others?
Recommended for:
- Those who want to make a keyboard but have no experience
- Those who want to start electronics projects
- Those who use keyboards extensively for their work
What You Will Learn:
- What DIY keyboards are
- How to create highly customizable keyboards
- How to design circuits and order PCBs
- How to manage a project
Table of Contents
This time, the book is 112 pages thick, making it the thickest book we have ever published. To make it easy to start from scratch, it has become a book that is painful to hit your corner with.

Quotations
The concept of this book is to "guide you into the world of DIY keyboards." To achieve this, we have increased the number of reference links as much as possible so that you can touch on the works and communications of our predecessors. The world of DIY keyboards is also filled with the spirit of engineering, and many people are making high-quality contributions. The author was also supported by these contributions to make keyboards, so we hope you will experience this process. Especially in the electronic version, it is easy to move to the linked pages.
When I checked how many references there were in total, there were an astonishing 182 unique URLs. There are some links that are not directly related to the main topic, and some are from the same domain, but it takes time to write them down too…. Since I used grep, sort, and uniq to extract them from the manuscript, I will post an image that summarizes them.
