Since you aren’t giving any details it’s hard to answer your question. There are plenty of diy keyboards around that have unique layouts, maybe one will fit you.

If not the most popular way to make your own keyboard is to 3d print the case and have the plate cut by a laser cutting service, and then hand wire the circuit together.

Tell us more, and we can help more.

Sorry, should have given a bit more. Needs to be ortholinear, every key the same size (with the exception of one that is 2 wide). Sort of similar to this actually https://spacehop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Ortholinear-keyboard-design.jpeg but a column or two narrower. Will be my own custom layout (because qwerty is garbage). But also I want to chord with it and use additional modifier key to adjust the cords, so I need to be able to fully program output based on which keys are pressed/held.

So basically a preonic? And you would need QMK to program it.

Hmm, yeah almost. A little wider though. I'll have to look into how programmable that actually is. But definitely on the right track!

It’s 100% customizable once loaded with base QMK.

Btw if you figure out your size, just google it. Likely someone made it if it’s just grid ortho.
