About the KeeBord PCB

KeeBord is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by qaimkhaniarzan-hub, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 300 × 100 mm, with 62 components from 4 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the RaspberryPi_Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. By type, the board carries 59 diodes, 1 module and 1 switch.

It belongs with the keyboards designs in this gallery.

From the project

Initially, I was going to make a 65% keyboard with no addiitonal parts, but since i was planning on playing some rc flight simulators in preparation for a different project, i thought it;d be a GREAT idea to add a baby joystick!

1. Plugging In: Connect the onboard Raspberry Pi Pico to your PC via a USB-C cable. 2. Standard Typing: Typing functions out-of-the-box as a standard 60% mechanical layout with complete key rollover. 3. Joystick Control: In flight simulators or space games, map ADC0 and ADC1 to primary yoke or throttle axes inside your simulator keybind settings. 4. Firmware…

KeeBord: common questions

What microcontroller does the KeeBord use?

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

How big is the KeeBord PCB?

The KeeBord measures 300 × 100 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the KeeBord?

62 components, from 4 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 KeeBord design files?

From the qaimkhaniarzan-hub/KeeBord 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 KeeBord design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with qaimkhaniarzan-hub. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the KeeBord 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.
