About the Shlok Keeb PCB

Shlok Keeb is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by shlokrpatel, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 335.7 × 125.4 mm, with 191 components from 8 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the RaspberryPi_Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. By type, the board carries 122 diodes, 67 switches, 1 module and 1 connector.

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

From the project

a custom keyboard I built myself. This includes the pcb, case, firmware, and eventually, the assembly. I built this to learn more on how to design pcb's and get better at CAD

I was able to learn how to use Kicad, CAD, some firmware use, how to solder, and the engineering behind keyboard

Learned onshape routing my pcb with all the traces building my case writing the firmware

Shlok Keeb: common questions

What microcontroller does the Shlok Keeb use?

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

How big is the Shlok Keeb PCB?

The Shlok Keeb measures 335.7 × 125.4 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Shlok Keeb?

191 components, from 8 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 Shlok Keeb design files?

From the shlokrpatel/Shlok_Keeb repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Shlok Keeb design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Shlok Keeb 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.
