From the project
5x12 ortholinear through-hole component keyboard PCB for standard 60% cases
Lumberjack is a split 5x12 ortholinear keyboard PCB using through-hole components only.
The goal of this project is to build an all through-hole component ortholinear PCB that fits in a standard 60% tray mount case.
Designed to be easy to build with minimal soldering experience. Get that visible component aesthetic in a standard 60% tray-mount case. 12 pin USB-C or JST connector. Plateless or with FR4 switch plates.

Lumberjack: common questions
What microcontroller does the Lumberjack use?
The Lumberjack is built around the ATMEGA328P-PU, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the Lumberjack PCB?
The Lumberjack measures 284.7 × 94.2 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Lumberjack?
149 components, from 24 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 Lumberjack design files?
From the peej/lumberjack-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 Lumberjack design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which peej chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Lumberjack without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug AVR/Arduino firmware against it before you order a PCB.
