About the Keyboard PCB

Keyboard is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by mrobinson-12, published on GitHub under the Apache-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 393.8 × 128.4 mm, with 97 components from 5 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the RaspberryPi_Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. By type, the board carries 87 diodes, 9 switches and 1 module.

It belongs with the keyboards designs in this gallery.

Keyboard: common questions

What microcontroller does the Keyboard use?

The Keyboard is built around the RaspberryPi_Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Keyboard PCB?

The Keyboard measures 393.8 × 128.4 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Keyboard?

97 components, from 5 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 Keyboard design files?

From the mrobinson-12/keyboard 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 Keyboard design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its Apache-2.0 license, which mrobinson-12 chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Keyboard without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug RP2040/RP2350 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
