From the project

Design of a keyboard pad from scratch.

This project is a custom-built 5-key keyboard pad designed and developed entirely from scratch. It’s powered by a Pro Micro microcontroller and is fully compatible with VIA Software, a powerful configuration tool for custom keyboards.

- 5 fully customizable keys using VIA Software. - Hotswap PCB, allowing for quick swap of Mechanical Switches.

- Custom PCB Design I designed the PCB from the ground up using KiCad, an open-source electronics design automation suite. The design files were sent to a professional manufacturer for production.

3x2-pad: common questions

How big is the 3x2-pad PCB?

The 3x2-pad measures 64.3 × 61.9 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the 3x2-pad?

12 components, from 4 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 3x2-pad design files?

From the ygbuil/3x2-pad 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 3x2-pad design in my own project?

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