These are the parts needed to make your own custom Chording keyboard. It is currently a work in progress but I like where it is at. it is based on a common cheap button: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NWFZCQC
Version 2 of the button holder prints much faster and allows you to use a 4d size nail as a hinge point. it still uses the wire holder so that doesn't go to waste, but it allows you to position the switches any way you would like over an approximate 90° sweep (even better if you make your own button caps. With out the button caps it can swing from 0° (Both buttons flat holding the left button) to +90° (buttons facing in) to -60° (Buttons facing out). One hole for the pin is slightly smaller than the other 2 so that it latches in quite snug.
Please let me know how your build does, if you decide to build a few.
