About the Klaw PCB

Klaw is an open source PCB design by scrambletools, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 128.6 × 98.5 mm, with 63 components from 14 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the -. By type, the board carries 18 jumpers, 18 switches, 18 diodes, 2 connectors, 2 battery holders and 1 IC.

It belongs with the keyboards, iot & wireless and displays & leds designs in this gallery.

From the project

34-key reversible split keyboard — one PCB for both halves; hotswap MX, per-key RGB, OLED, encoder, wired or wireless. KLOR-derived.

KLAW is a compact 34-key split keyboard with LEDs, OLED, buzzer and encoder. It is designed as one reversible PCB that serves both halves - components on the back face make the right half, components on the front face make the left half. One board design: the same gerber files can be used for both halves, with separate BOM and CPL files per half. Every component can be machine-assembled, but you may want to hand-assemble the MCU and OLED modules. The latest hardware revision is rev 2.
