Welcome to Gigaboard v1 a fully chaotic, DIY, tenkeyless mechanical keyboard that I built basically for vibes. Two PCBs, a bunch of parts, and me learning PCB design on the fly.

Is it practical? Nah. Is it fun? Absolutely.

- Tenkeyless Layout, Standard layout, compatible with Cherry MX-style switches (I used Kailh Box Crystal Jades clicky bois) - Per-Key RGB, Reverse mounted SK6812 (Neopixel) LEDs for maximum gamer energy - 16x2 Character Display, Retro LCD, mainly for flex (TBD on actual use) - Knob (Rotary Encoder), Twist it to feel something - Powered by Raspberry Pi Pico, Because it’s…

Gigaboard: common questions

What microcontroller does the Gigaboard use?

The Gigaboard is built around the Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Gigaboard PCB?

The Gigaboard measures 372 × 143 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Gigaboard?

308 components, from 98 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Gigaboard design files?

From the adarshdg4567/gigaboard-v1 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Gigaboard design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which adarshdg4567 chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Gigaboard without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug RP2040/RP2350 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
