Handwire Helpers — Modular 5×5 Matrix PCB

5×5 Modular Switch Grid Cherry MX & Kailh Choc v2 Cut-to-Size Matrix Panel

Handwiring a custom keyboard is rewarding, but point-to-point soldering can be tedious. This project provides a modular 5×5 switch matrix PCB supporting both Cherry MX and Kailh Choc v2 footprints that can be scored and cut to your exact row/column dimensions and chained together.
