Here's the parts list and the written guide for these cool RGB MX buttons.
Guide (By Daora) - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qY4HESYdRyFT8OaB5leyHsWm4kfqoA74zqSLAdihuvo/edit
Parts
Brook Board (or really any PCB board if you know how to separate the two connections and how to give 5v and ground)
MX Buttons from AliExpress - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003346456501.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.21ef1802u7NKlv
Raspberry Pi Pico - https://www.adafruit.com/product/4883
Adafruit NeoKey Socket Breakout - https://www.adafruit.com/product/4978
Cherry MX styled key switches (any will work, personally went with Gateron Yellows)
PCB breadboard (this is to help solder the headers on the PCB boards)
Soldering Iron, solder, flux (you don't need an expensive one)
Jumper Cables Female to Female - https://www.amazon.com/40pcs-Female-2-54mm-Jumper-2x40pcs/dp/B00GSE2S98
That is about it in parts you'll need. Follow the guide linked above and it should come to working order. The only adjustment you'll need to make is for the MX buttons, you'll have to trim two of the sides since the PCB doesn't sit flush after you solder the headers to them. A rotary tool is recommend, but you can find other ways to trim it.
