Repo with my PCB designs and keyboard firmware

This repository contains the source files for keyboard designs and keyboard firmware.

Plotted gerber files can be found under the GitHub repository's releases.

Assembled PCBs for selected designs are available on the RGoulter's Keyboard Labs store.

- PCB smaller than 100x100 mm2, so that it's cheaper to fabricate at various PCB fabricators. - Reversible PCB (use the same PCB for left/right halves). - Using the WeAct Studio MiniF4 "black pill" dev board, a cheap STM32F4 dev board that runs ARM. - Low profile (PCB + choc switches + bumpons). - Column-staggered arrangement of key switches. -…
