I am making a custom keyboard for myself , it is based on 60% keyboard layout . I will also have nobs for volume and brightness control. PCB is designed in kicad and 3D covers are made in fusion. ## Features

- Base on Raspberry pico W - Has 60% Keyboard Matrix - Has 2 Rotor Encoder For voulem and brigtness controll ### Schematic HOURS Worked :- 5.2 hours So i firstly thought what would be the features of my keyboard . It is a simple mechanical keyboard in 60% layout that uses keyboard matrix so that it uses less gpio pins and diodes are used to preventing ghosting. and i will also use…

Keyboard: common questions

What microcontroller does the Keyboard use?

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

How big is the Keyboard PCB?

The Keyboard measures 322 × 105 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Keyboard?

130 components, from 15 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Keyboard design files?

From the sauravraj67/Keyboard repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Keyboard design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with sauravraj67. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Keyboard 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.
