Hey guys! I've been posting about this for roughly the last month and registration closes tomorrow August 16th so if you want in, now is the time :)

Together over 3 live Discord sessions we're going to be building a full 4x10 ortholinear handwired keyboard and I'll be guiding you the whole way. There will be time during the sessions to ask questions if you get stuck and a dedicated Q&A at the end of each.

You can either bring your own parts or purchase a parts kit with everything you need including pre-cut copper minus tools of course.

This course is beginner friendly and I think you'll be surprised at just how easy it is to handwire!

Yeah it's a non-ergo but the concepts still apply to any board which is why I'm still posting here.

Hey all! It’s me, The Handwiring Guy and I’m back again with another workshop!

This time I’ll be teaching you how to build a full handwired keyboard using a matrix with diodes. We’ll build it together over three live weekend sessions on Discord, where I’ll guide you through every step and answer questions along the way. Every session is also recorded so you can rewatch them at any time and students get access to private channels for further discussion. 

There’s also an optional parts kit so all you need are the tools. By the end of the workshop you’ll have a handwired keyboard you built entirely yourself from scratch and the knowledge to build your own in the future. 

No prior handwiring experience is required, and the workshop is limited to 12 people so everyone gets plenty of individual help. Also each session ends with a Q&A if you have any other questions!

Hey all! I'm Joe Scotto, many of you probably know me as "The Handwiring Guy" from YouTube where I make free videos about handwiring, keyboard design, PCBs, etc.

Lately I've started running paid live Discord workshops where I teach this stuff in a more structured way to small groups of people. The first one was for complete beginners with a handwired 3x3 macropad build, the next was PCB design, and this latest one is all about building an entire handwired keyboard!

Over 3 sessions about 1 to 2 hours long each, I'll walk you through every step of the build. We'll start with installing the switches and wiring the columns, move on to the rows with diodes in session 2, and finally finish it up by soldering the controller and flashing firmware in session 3. By the end of the workshop you'll have a full handwired keyboard you built yourself completely from scratch!

To make things easier, there's an optional parts kit that includes everything you'll need to build the keyboard except the tools, including the 3D printed case and keycaps, electronics, switches, wire, heat shrink, and even pre-cut solid copper wire. The workshop is $150 if you bring your own parts or $200 with the complete parts kit.

Registration closes on August 16th so I have enough time to ship the parts to everyone before the workshop begins. The last two workshops filled up pretty quickly, so if you're interested I would recommend signing up sooner rather than later as there are only 12 spots available.

A few months back I built the Scotto2 for someone with quadriplegia that allowed them to play racing games using 2 large buttons. I figured something cool to do for a bit of a meme would be an entire number pad with giant buttons. The result is the ScottoBigum which I believe to be the largest in the world. Each button is scaled up 4 times and the entire thing weighs close to 2 pounds… oh and it’s also wireless with ZMK studio support so it doesn’t need to be strictly a number pad.

I have a full build video coming out tomorrow on my YouTube channel and as usual with all my handwired projects, all the files are available for free if you want to build this one yourself.

The Scotto48 (PCB Edition) is a great beginner-friendly build that uses only through-hole components for easy soldering and a socketed controller for easy replacement. It features an ultra low-profile split 4×12 layout with 24 keys on each half, a powerful RP2040 Pi Pico for QMK / Vial customization, and a unique aesthetic with exposed components that tie everything together. It is also designed for Choc V1 switches with standard 18×17 mm spacing.

You can purchase it on my shop: https://scottokeebs.com/products/scotto48-pcb-edition

This is my newest and thinnest keyboard yet, the Scotto48 (PCB Edition)!

You can also purchase the components to build one yourself over on my shop.
