If anyone needs cherry mx black keyswitches (2 wire and 4 wire versions) message me. I'm in USA
Did you post or found the key caps model somewhere ? On the pictures they seems 3d printed too.
Nice little project.
What dimensions are needed for under the plate the switches snap into? I'm designing a custom board myself and wonder about spacing. Also, could you maybe put up a build onto instructables? That would be a cool process to see. Plus, I'm not sure what the first piece is for. :)
I used these instructions from gizmodo as the starting place for wiring my numpad (https://www.thingiverse.com/make:300273):

Its easier than you think - just lots of diodes :) - there is a picture of the matrix wired for my numpad as well for reference. You don't need to be an expert at soldering, just go slow and pay attention to the direction of the diodes.
And this firmware for the teensy 2.0 is awesome and the online builder is really easy to use:

The little single hole is to set the tolerances for your particular printer.
