DynaCap™ Electro-Capacitive Keyboard Build Guide

Designed by G Bur

This is a general build guide that is not specific to any one keyboard design. It only covers the plate and PCB assembly steps of a DynaCap™ keyboard build. This guide is for both laser-cut and integrated plate builds. Look in the top right corner of each page for integrated plate information. While this guide was designed for DynaCap™, most steps also apply for any EC build.
