Well there are a few PCBs out there (I'd have to look them up to remember them all) but in order to custom build a keyboard you'd also need a Teensy 2.0 or 2.1 to connect everything and wire it all up.

Ok, so there's the Plank, Phantom, Ergodox, NerD 60, Atomic PCB, NerD 108, and many, many others (Massdrop polls are also a surprisingly good place to look)

Okay, sorry for the slight necro but I've been looking into this recently. There does exist firmware you can load on a Teensy++ 2.0, and I know it's possible with an ATmega32U4. I'll do some more digging, maybe buy a couple boards and see what happens
