The need for a keyboard with a rotary encoder that could be customized without compromising on functionality sparked the creation of this project. When existing options fell short of meeting these requirements, Orione was born: a custom 60% mechanical keyboard powered by the Raspberry Pi Pico, featuring fully customizable firmware…

Orione: common questions

What microcontroller does the Orione use?

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

How big is the Orione PCB?

The Orione measures 319.9 × 119.6 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Orione?

127 components, from 12 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Orione design files?

From the ilBuso/Orione repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Orione design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Orione 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.
