The Corne keyboard is a split keyboard with 3x6 column staggered keys and 3 thumb keys, based on Helix. Crkbd stands for Corne Keyboard.

- corne-classic(JP/EN): Corne for Cherry MX switches - corne-cherry(JP) (tilting, JP): Hotswappable Corne for Cherry MX switches by kailh PCB sockets. - corne-chocolate(JP/EN): Hotswappable Corne for Chocolate switches using Kailh PCB hot-swap sockets. - corne-light(JP): Light-weight Corne (Easy build with a simple PCB).

Crkbd: common questions

What microcontroller does the Crkbd use?

The Crkbd is built around the ATMEGA32U2-AU, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Crkbd PCB?

The Crkbd measures 133.8 × 92.2 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Crkbd?

86 components, from 15 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 Crkbd design files?

From the IndianBoy42/keyboard-pcbs repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Crkbd design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with IndianBoy42. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Crkbd without the hardware?

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