60 Keyboard: common questions

What microcontroller does the 60 Keyboard use?

The 60 Keyboard is built around the ATmega32U4-A, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the 60 Keyboard PCB?

The 60 Keyboard measures 285.7 × 95.2 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the 60 Keyboard?

152 components, from 20 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the 60 Keyboard design files?

From the laxlucien/60_keyboard repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the 60 Keyboard design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the 60 Keyboard 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.
