About the Keyboard PCB

Keyboard is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by bhatrichit10-ux, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 317.6 × 110.5 mm, with 123 components from 3 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the RaspberryPi_Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. By type, the board carries 61 switches, 61 diodes and 1 module.

It belongs with the keyboards designs in this gallery.

From the project

my own very little keyboard!

i think i need a new keyboard, so whynot make a new one. hehehe

Well, its my first ever keyboard after i made my micropad. (Using qmk for first time aswell) ## Features - 60% keyboard - 60 keys - made using qmk - uses pi pico - simple matrix design - easy to recreate

Keyboard: common questions

What microcontroller does the Keyboard use?

The Keyboard is built around the RaspberryPi_Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Keyboard PCB?

The Keyboard measures 317.6 × 110.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Keyboard?

123 components, from 3 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 Keyboard design files?

From the bhatrichit10-ux/keyboard 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 Keyboard design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which bhatrichit10-ux chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Keyboard 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.
