Are there any readily and legally available KiCad (or equivalent) PCB schematics for a tenkeyless keyboard? All I'd really want is a tenkeyless keyboard with non-staggered keys. I'm guessing there isn't one, so I thought of modifying an existing design to fit my needs.
Why don't I do it from scratch? Because I'm hopelessly shit when it comes to PCB design.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Kicad files for a tenkeyless?

Judging by the joyous reception this thread has got I'm assuming people think
In all seriousness, I've tried the other readily available ergonomic mechanical offerings and I've concluded that the only ergonomical feature I need at the moment is an even matrix in a compact form factor. Is that so silly?

No, you're not going wrong. I'm just surprised Kbdfr hasn't shown up already and grumbled about Tipros.
Have you got any further than thinking about the PCB? Any ideas for a case?

I can make you a PCB-layout including scheme with traces (you have to make them yourself).Julle wrote: ↑Are there any readily and legally available KiCad (or equivalent) PCB schematics for a tenkeyless keyboard?

Just let me know where you want the controller placed and what kind of layout.

Not a tenkeyless, but perhaps a good start for something to expand https://github.com/BathroomEpiphanies/K ... d-Tutorial There is of course a lot of work to be done before that is a keyboard, but all the important parts should be available..
