On: Making My Own USB Keyboard from Scratch

[Palomides]

even if you want a custom plate, PCB, case, firmware, you can use community-developed web tools like these to do it all:

A neat response to this article would be someone making a keyboard using only these tools.

I've been doing that myself recently. I have a 3d printer, so I took the dxf plate generated by builder.swillkb.com and just extruded it in OpenSCAD a bit for some thickness. 3D printed it, put it together with some screws (the generator even comes with screw hole options), hand wired the switches together, to a Arduino Pro Micro and programmed it with QMK.
