Bill of materials

Essentials:

Item Count Note
Keyboard PCB 2
Nice!Nano 2
12 pin headers and sockets 4 You can use through-hole diode legs as pins. Sockets spacing: 2.54mm, Socket height: Using minimal height sockets might not leave enough room to mount the battery under the MCU. 3DS1002-01-1*20V13-JK by CONNFLY are a good choice, but you can also use lower ones and longer legs instead. Spiltkb has a good guide on mounting.
LiPo battery (301230) 2 110mAh
Kailh Choc v1 switches (PG1350) 56
Keycaps 56
Kailh Choc hotswap sockets 56
Encoder EVQWGD001 2
Diodes 1N4148W 58 for each key + encoder
Buttons 2 reset buttons; 2 pins through-hole, tactile, 3x6x4.3mm
Slider Switches 2 on/off switches; SMD, C128955
USB-C Cable 1 for copying the firmware

Optional:

Item Count Note
Nice!View + mounts 2
Switchplate 2 Height: 1.2mm; either 3d printed or cut pcbs. stl
Case (Left + Right) 1 see here.
Silicone feet 8
