OrthoKeyboard75

Features:

  • Keyboard with a split ortholinear layout
    • Two 5x6 clusters of buttons
    • 3.5" touch screen in between
  • USB Type-C connector
  • A form factor that fits in a standard 60% keyboard case
  • On board STM32 microcontroller - No separate controller devboard like Pro Micro

  • Possible support for Kailh X switches

ToDo hardware:

  • Switch matrix with diodes
  • Choose a 3V3 Regulator
  • Choose the STM32F303 version
  • Wiring for the rows and columns to the MCU
  • Begin laying out the PCB
  • Standoff positions for 60% case
  • Choose TFT module
  • Component layout
  • Routing

ToDo software:

  • Everything lol :D

Questions

How big is the OrthoProject75 PCB?

It measures 285 × 94 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the OrthoProject75 use?

150 parts, built around the USBLC6-2SC6 and XC6206P332MR. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the OrthoProject75 KiCad files?

From the Wa1tee/OrthoKeyboard75 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is orthoProject75.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the OrthoProject75 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
