Keyboard v1.1: common questions

What microcontroller does the Keyboard v1.1 use?

The Keyboard v1.1 is built around the Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Keyboard v1.1 PCB?

The Keyboard v1.1 measures 314.9 × 121 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Keyboard v1.1?

155 components, from 9 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Keyboard v1.1 design files?

From the daaminashai/keyboard-v1.1 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Keyboard v1.1 design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Keyboard v1.1 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.
