About the Io8 PCB
Io8 is an open source PCB design by whowechina, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 85 × 50 mm, with 61 components from 17 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the Pico_Trim, TPS7A2042, ADG708BRUZ and PC847. By type, the board carries 10 resistors, 8 diodes, 5 ICs, 4 switches and 3 connectors.
It belongs with the keyboards designs in this gallery.

Arcade switch replacement
It's the successor to my sanwa_opt project. With it, you can use regular low-profile keyboard switches (or even optical sensors) on arcade buttons.
