About the Rabid PCB

Rabid is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by SeanCline, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 343.4 × 121.9 mm, with 185 components from 99 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the C85364, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. By type, the board carries 90 diodes, 89 switches, 3 resistors, 2 connectors and 1 IC.

It belongs with the keyboards designs in this gallery.

From the project

A replacement PCB and plate for the old CM Storm QuickFireRapid and Filco Majestouch TKL keyboards.

This project is an ode to the old-school Cooler Master QuickFire Rapid TKL keyboard -- a board that introduced many people to the mechanical keyboard hobby years ago.

Over time, upgrade parts for these old mechanical keyboards have become hard to find. This project attempts to solve that by providing PCB designs that can be manufactured by services like JLCPCB or PCBWay.

Rabid: common questions

What microcontroller does the Rabid use?

The Rabid is built around the C85364, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Rabid PCB?

The Rabid measures 343.4 × 121.9 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Rabid?

185 components, from 99 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 Rabid design files?

From the SeanCline/RabidKeyboard 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 Rabid design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which SeanCline chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Rabid 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.
