This is a project that was inspired by ZSA's Moonlander and Voyager split keyboards. I loved how they looked and with my move to a keyboard-driven workflow, I decided that I needed to make the move. I started second-guessing myself when I saw the price, as I was a student, and I came to the realisation that I had the skills to design one.

TheFalcon Right: common questions

What microcontroller does the TheFalcon Right use?

The TheFalcon Right is built around the STM32G431CBTx, from the STM32 family.

How big is the TheFalcon Right PCB?

The TheFalcon Right measures 173.3 × 142.5 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the TheFalcon Right?

166 components, from 30 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 TheFalcon Right design files?

From the Matthew-Hammon/TheFalcon 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 TheFalcon Right design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which Matthew-Hammon chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the TheFalcon Right without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug STM32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
