+|ProMicro Controller|2| |Part of the Kit from Kriscables|The brains of the keyboard|* For Wireless, nice!nano is better due to ZMK Firmware|
 |Diodes|58|1N4148W|Part of the Kit from Kriscables|Manages the flow of electrical current (can only flow in one direction)|* They also known as "SOD-123" \\ * SMD are needed if you want Choc Switches \\ * If the PCB you find has Through-hole, then you would need Though-Hole Diodes|
 |Microcontroller (Hotswap) Sockets|4x 12| |Part of the Kit from Kriscables|Allows to easily change (so, no need to solder) the micro controller|* You need 12 pins per side, per micro controller \\ * So 2 Sides x 12 Sockets x 2 Micro Controller|
 |Mill Max Socket Pins|4x 12| |Part of the Kit from Kriscables|The "legs" of the microcontroller, which attach to the HotSwap Sockets|* Same as the Microcontroller Sockets \\ * So 2 x 12 x 2|
-|TRRS Connector|2| |Part of the Kit from Kriscables|Connecting the boards together| \\ * Never disconnect the TRRS cable when the board is connected to the PC. \\  \\ * Always disconnect the USB first \\  \\ * Not necessary if you going for a wireless build \\ |

+|Switches|58|MX or Choc Low Profile| |What registers the "key press"|If choosing Choc Low Profile, remember to consider if the "legs" will be able to touch the PCB if you plan on adding Layers in between \\ If you already have a mechanical keyboard, you can always use those switches instead|

+|Keycaps|58|MX or Choc Low Profile| |What your finger presses / what you see when you look at the key|MX and Choc Low Profile are not compatible with each other. This also applies to the switches \\ If you already have a mechanical keyboard, you can always use those switches instead|
