Buttons
I created the case which is just a box with a bunch of holes. i also had to create 'plungers' which would press the buttons. this was hella annoying, and i now realise why i hate cad so much. I had claude help me with this (planning only) and made me a diagram of what this should look like, which helped me imagine it better, and make the final product.

Log 2
So with dimensions I got from Koeg, i fixed everything like the location of the connectors and the size of the board so that i wouldnt have any surprises when i receive the boards. I also added some cool silkscreens and copper text. I added an LED that can act as a caps lock led (idk if there will be caps lock) or just a notification led. now to make the case...

Init
So I have decided to create a keyboard module since noone has done that. It will be a double slot module since that is the space needed to fit a full QWERTY keyboard. I will use SPST switches, that are SMD so that they wont take up a lot of space. This was hard to space correctly, and I also had to do some thinking until I thought of how to make it into an actual qwerty layout.
