Welcome to the GameBoard V2 project! This is more than just a keyboard—it's my vision of the perfect daily driver: a full 105-key ISO layout, tailored to my preferences, and featuring a smooth rotary encoder for intuitive volume control. Every detail, from the color palette to the hardware, is chosen for both style and performance.
Take a look at some highlights from the build:

Keyboard: common questions
What microcontroller does the Keyboard use?
The Keyboard is built around the Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.
How big is the Keyboard PCB?
The Keyboard measures 438.2 × 181 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Keyboard?
211 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 Godzilaa/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?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Godzilaa. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
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.
