Overview
Skoosk pcb is an open-source printed circuit board by calvin-mcd, from the calvin-mcd/skoosk repository on GitHub, published under the GPL-3.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 264 × 76.5 mm with 98 parts on 70 nets, routed with 542 tracks and 9 vias.
Its parts include 45 diodes, 3 switches and 1 IC. It belongs with the keyboards and input boards and the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

some kind of ortholinear split keyboard
The skoosk was my first attempt at creating a split ortholinear keyboard from scratch. The first production run had some issues with the pcb and the plate files. In the process of rectifying these issues I ended up creating simplifying the pcb for manual assembly. There are two different types of switch and backplates. One for more bounce, the other for more stability.

Project Files
skoosk pcb rgb is not designed for manual assembly supporting LEDs and a reset switch if wanted.
skoosk switchplate & backplate 4 screwholes each have 4 outer screwholes that give the sandwhich assembly a good amount of bounce.
skoosk switchplate & backplate 8 screwholes have 8 screwholes in total to offer more stability for the whole sandwhich case.
Todo
- test newest pcb revision
- add firmware support for the RGB indicator leds

Questions
How big is the Skoosk pcb PCB?
It measures 264 × 76.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Skoosk pcb use?
98 parts. 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 Skoosk pcb KiCad files?
From the calvin-mcd/skoosk repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Project/skoosk pcb.kicad_pcb and its schematic Project/skoosk pcb.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Skoosk pcb design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
