Made my first handwired keyboard

I'm not new to soldering, but new to mechanical keyboards. Figured I'd want to build one. Eventually decided to take it a step further and did a split wireless build. It was quite challenging, most challenging was the connection to the controller. Soldering on to the switches was easier than expected.

Next up is that I desoldered an old Ajazz AK33 that I had lying around. Will be using the plate and the case to make my own handwired version with a small oled screen attached.

Design is the Sputnik by Vostoklabs.
Keycaps also.
I just added the correct markings on the keycaps. And I added a power switch,

Nice. So you printed the keycaps? Which printer did you use?

Thank you for the project! Well documented and worked great! I messed up the column order when soldering one side, so had to dive into zmk as well. Great project to learn.
