About the Peautkb PCB

Peautkb is an open source PCB design by peauters, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 348 × 113 mm, with 234 components from 9 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the black-pill-v3. By type, the board carries 64 diodes, 62 capacitors, 52 switches, 50 LEDs, 4 connectors and 2 ICs.

It belongs with the keyboards designs in this gallery.

From the project

A split ergo keyboard

I really liked the 3 rows from the Corne, as well as the rotaries from the Kyria. I wanted a single row thumb cluster and a column stager that fitted my hands. In then end, I ended up with what is in this repo.

This board has a different footprint to a Pro Micro, which in hindsight has probably made this board very niche. I know of other blackpill boards (like the Grandiceps), but they seem limited at the moment.
