From the project
Keyboard | Hall Effect | OrthoLinear | Programmable | Standard-sized
- 70 HE switches, 60% case, 13x5 + 5 keys + 1 encoder + 2 potentiometers in ortholinear arrangement. - All keys are 1u. Keycaps in uniform profile preferred (XDA, DSA...). - QMK Firmware compatibility. - QMK MIDI Support (Audio support buggy). - Compatibility with "standard" widely available 60% keyboard cases. - OLED display.
Design for PCBs can be found in the hardware folder.

KHEops70: common questions
What microcontroller does the KHEops70 use?
The KHEops70 is built around the STM32F303CBTX, from the STM32 family.
How big is the KHEops70 PCB?
The KHEops70 measures 285 × 94.6 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.61668 mm thick.
How many components are on the KHEops70?
477 components, from 35 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 KHEops70 design files?
From the mgsg/KHEops70 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 KHEops70 design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which mgsg chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the KHEops70 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.
