About the Kevin PCB

Kevin is an open source PCB design by seb-ma, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 208.3 × 104.4 mm, with 84 components from 24 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the nice_nano, XC6206P202MR-G, PMW3360DM-T2QU and eink. By type, the board carries 27 diodes, 22 switches, 19 capacitors, 5 connectors, 4 ICs and 2 resistors.

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

From the project

- a split keyboard - low profile - wireless (based on nice!nano) - having huge autonomy - with 3 columns × 6 rows + 4 keys on thumb + 1 joystick (numeric or analogic) on each side - in a column stagger design - without breakable column - designed for Kailh PG1350 (aka Choc) - wit
