First checked out some youtube videos abt the working and schematics of an mechanical keyboard, Found about QMK firmware started listing out the components required (i had experience with easyeda) so started working on the schematics

Today I spent time researching different parts for the MechaKey K48 build to bring down the cost and make sure everything is easily available. I checked prices on Robu, AliExpress, and JLCPCB, and updated the BOM accordingly with better links and totals. Also made sure that the new parts I picked still work properly with the current PCB layout—didn’t want to take any chances there. Overall, just tried to make the build smoother and less headache when ordering maybe after building it will thunk whether to print the case or make my own using arcylic sheets
