Custom keyboard using the caps from the Alcatel-Lucent MMK, built with Onshape and KiCad

Custom keyboard designed to use the GMK keycaps from the Alcatel-Lucent MMK. Designed in Onshape and KiCad. Powered by QMK.

I designed this for fun. It is not an entry-level keyboard, and it is not intended for a Group Buy. I'm sharing the production and source files with the goal of serving as a reference for other designers.

AlcatelLeft: common questions

What microcontroller does the AlcatelLeft use?

The AlcatelLeft is built around the STM32F072CBTx, from the STM32 family.

How big is the AlcatelLeft PCB?

The AlcatelLeft measures 278.7 × 117.2 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the AlcatelLeft?

109 components, from 16 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 AlcatelLeft design files?

From the nearestexit/alcatel100 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 AlcatelLeft design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the AlcatelLeft 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.
