Looks great! I'm planning to build my own osu! keyboard based on ATMEGA8, it may not be so easy in terms of coding, but this microcontroller is almost 20 times cheaper. Although I will probably use your wiring diagram as a reference. So, thanks for that!

Testing Build v2
Hey Guys!! I made my own keyboard today. i used MX reds for the keys and a Teensy 3.2. The case is bac becaue i dont have access to a 3d printer so i just had to bend a piece of 1.5 mm perspex.. 
Your code sample was very helpful !! thanks ! i set the keys to be K, T which are my initials

Holy shit I thought the thread was abandoned by now... Dude that is awesome.
As for the future builds I'm doing, they're on the back burner due to exams

by the way.. I got my custom Caps today.. so i updated the images

Did you ever build your keyboard? The Atmega8 doesn't have any USB hardware, so you would have to bit-bang everything. If you just need something cheap, you can buy Arduino Pro Micro clones pretty cheap.

I'm pretty sure he could just use V-USB to create a low-speed USB device. Most Trinket-level devices I know do that as they are powered by the same chip.fb39ca4 wrote:

I've got an Arduino Uno (A clone) that i bought a while back for something that didn't work, will that work?

I'm not very knowledgeable about this; I've only confirmed this build with the build I have.
If your AVR chip has USB support built-in (ATmega with U - like ATmega32U4 on the Leonardo and Micro) -definitely has support and will work-, or has a built-in USB to serial converter (like the Uno, and Mega 2560), theoretically it should work though you'd have to dig online for actual references.
If not, you'd have to either use a USB to serial converter (like USB to FTDI serial cables) or emulate USB via V-USB, which I have not tried yet. Adafruit Trinkets are nice candidates for V-USB.
As for ARM-based chips, I've only tried using a Teensy, which already has built-in support.

Sanwa switch build people!!!!
Also this is what happens when you don't account for cable spacing... A wasted breadboard.
Some demos:
A hard drive case is actually a pretty solid choice for an arcade-style build.

didn't expect to find such project here. I used to work on Arduino projects and I can get the most of the stuff, but I don't know where to get Cherry MX switches. Maybe I'll try it once I get them since it looks interesting.

Works on any regular push button switch. The lovely Sanwa keypad is right above youiman mutou wrote:

If not, Digikey or any other mechanical keyboard website like WASD or MechKB should have them in stock.
Better yet, check if Cherry themselves carry it in bulk.
OP has been helping me out and i'm currently in the process of building my own, thanks Senpai. o3o
I've been looking at a lot of these osu! keyboards lately. thnikk's keypads are very nice, as well as the one on the osu! store.
I do a lot of keyboards built from parts and this is nothing completely new to me, but its the first time I will be hand-wiring switches.
I'm just gonna use the arduino nano clone from dx, and a custom cnc cut acrylic housing.
What I will add to the previous designs is a palmrest. I'll come up with some more designs in the future.
Switches will be custom lubed 55g vintage cherry mx blacks. my all-time fave

I only handwire in my build since I'm too broke for custom PCBs unlike noodlefighter and Antcenter xd
I will probably try to make one with a pro micro, Kailh Speed Copper switches and a case I have laying around. Maybe I will post some pictures then

Well. All the stuff came in yesterday morning. So I made a case out of some wood I found in my basement. It was my first time soldering anything. I'm okay with what came out of it xd It's a Pro Micro (5v, 16mhz) I bought from mehkee aswell as the keyswitches (Kailh Speed Copper). The keycaps are some cheap blue ones from banggood.
As for people living in germany shipping was quite fast except for the mehkee stuff. (Almost 2 weeks for that)

What's better these keypads can be made with almost anything.
I made mine with old pad PCB.
Only soldered switches properly and it works.
Overall cost=2 switches 0.52$
Yes i know it looks like shit, but hey it works.

Good job with the build there. Can't wait to see the demo.Vodes wrote:

He still kicked my ass with it

Here is a bad video for my keyboard

Don't worry, mine sounds like a toy too. My Sanwa build sounds like hitting a shoebox with a stick.Vodes wrote:

Yes, just remember to select Teensy 2.0 or 2.0++ in the boards sections of the Arduino, assuming you are using Teensyduino.TV-Size Kun wrote:

New build for you guys. This time, a possible 8-key design, using an Adafruit Feather M0 for the controller.
I can't understand any thing about some techinacl shit anyone can help me
In indonesia someone sell it the price is too high about 40$ and I can't use my credit card too (controlled by my mom)

Anyone know teensy alternative for the no-no keyboard i found the Leonardo one help me pls and in Indonesia it's very rare to found 3d printing place
Topic Starter
Leonardo is perfectly adequate for the job, since it contans all the native USB hardware needed for the keyboard functions to work. The only reason I don't recommend these is that their footprint is quite large. Take a look at some sample boards below:quinton69 wrote:

Teensy LC/3.2:

It all depends on the chip you are using, but also importantly, how the board is implemented.
At some point, you might also have to leard KiCAD/Eagle to learn how to mount chips directly to PCB. Nono most likely has already done that, along with Techkeys, MaxKeyboard, etc...
Can you send me the Arduino coding pls I'm using the two keys shift and z
Do you know the alternative for the pcb

I already made my code for the pro micro. You just need to tell me your keys and the pins, that you're using, then i'll do it for you. (If you'll use the pro micro ofc)quinton69 wrote:
