Reviung5 PCB + Case Kit
The Reviung5 is probably my go-to "first soldering build", that I would recommend. It has an easy build guide (found here) and gives you enough practice with soldering with 4 or 5 switches and only a handful of SMD components. My favorite layout is shown, with the left side encoder installed with the 4 keys on the right side. It's very useful for a few quick shortcuts/macros, such as Zoom meetings and media control. What's included? 1 PCB 4 Underglow RGBs (WS2812B RGB LED) 5 diodes -- through hole 5 diodes -- SMD 1 EC11 encoder -- SMD Rubber feet Acrylic case layers Acrylic cover spacers Hardware to assemble Things you will need to complete the build: 4 (or 5 if you do not use the encoder) switches (MX style) Keycaps Encoder knob USB cable (specifically, micro USB if using the Pro Micro) Soldering tools Resources: Build Guide: https://reviung.com/build-guide/829/ Github repository: https://github.com/gtips/reviung/tree/master/reviung5
