README

Magkeys is a 2-part magnetically attached keyboard made with the RP2040 microcontroller and the Raspberry pi pico W, which enables wireless connectivity. The main keyboard consists of 84 keys in a keycool 84 layout and the numpad has 17 keys, along with a rotary encoder with a switch, and these two are magnetically connected via a UART connection. Here is the onshape link to the projects case. The PCB was made in KiCAD and can be seen here on kicanvas. Here's how it looks:
The firmware is KMK and it can be found here!
why make it!
We made this project for several reasons one of which was to actually coordinate together, which we are really bad at doing. We hope to make better projects in the future together!!
BOM
Note:
The 3d renders in onshape do not have any sort of keycaps, because there were some issues trying to add them, thus i chose to stay away and not add the keycaps. sorry :(

Questions
How big is the Magkeys PCB?
It measures 447 × 114.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Magkeys use?
247 parts, built around the RP2040, W25Q128JVPIQ and 1N4148W. 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 Magkeys KiCad files?
From the Ahad732/Magkeys repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/Magkeys.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware/Magkeys.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Magkeys design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Ahad732 before reusing the design.
