Scupper84 Row-Staggered Wee Keyboard

The Scupper84 is an 84-key (75% layout) row-staggered keyboard in CFX spacing to be small. The name Scupper is a reference to the Stan Rogers song Barrett's Privateers which contains the lyric, "and the cook in the scuppers with the staggers and jags," since this keyboard uses a row-staggered design.

Questions

How big is the Scupper84 PCB?

It measures 276.9 × 127.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Scupper84 use?

258 parts, built around the 74HC595 and SK6812-EC20. 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 Scupper84 KiCad files?

From the amacleod/scupper84 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is scupper84.kicad_pcb and its schematic rgb_glow.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Scupper84 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).
