LK23M is an open source PCB design by lambdakb, published on GitHub under the CC-BY-NC-4.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 76.2 × 119.1 mm, with 55 components from 10 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the ProMicro_RP2040. By type, the board carries 25 switches, 23 diodes, 4 capacitors, 1 IC, 1 connector and 1 LED.
It belongs with the keyboards designs in this gallery.
From the project
LK23M Numpad / Macropad
This keyboard has been designed as a standalone numpad with an extra top row to be used as a macro pad or media pad, as such, it can be configured in different ways when building it.
Here is the list of supported variations:
- Optional encoder on the top left key - Optional encoder on the top right key - The top two center keys can be replaced by a 0.91" OLED screen
