In the EU it's illegal to sell without external certification if the product is a medical device, is made for children or contains a radio. Certification will typically cost you $5,000-$15,000 depending on which lab you use.

- enderfusion 2y agoOff the shelf radio module, ain't nobody got time for certs.

That said, the hobbyist keyboard community has been pulling this for a while for small group orders without issues. Pre-certified modules are helpful, but stuff gets weird when it's on a board, so no guarantees. The fact that it's on a single layer board doesn't instill confidence since that typically means less than ideal return paths that can cause problems.
