Design a keyboard layout and build a PCB for it. Not too hard, I've done it myself. Super easy if you are OK with using a Pro Micro as your controller cause then you only have to make a PCB for diodes, switches, and maybe a reset switch and/or LEDs.

 

Fun to do and could be a money maker if you get good at it or make something people want/like.

If you don't want to buy anything your only option pretty much is software-based stuff. It's also really not that hard to do, and there are tons of guides online.

 

 

Either do online tech support, be it on a forum like this or otherwise, or teach yourself basic CAD, PCB design, etc.
