Parts

  • 47-61x Hotswap sockets (MX or Choc)
  • 47-61x SMD Diodes depending on layout chosen.
  • 1x Blackpill controller (F401 or F411)
  • 6x 5mm or shorter M2 screws
  • 2x 12mm M2 spacer
  • 4x 10mm M2 spacer
  • Rotary encoder & cap
  • Optional: 2u Stabilizer

Build guide

  • First choose a layout
  • Solder diodes on the PCB
  • Solder hotswap sockets on the PCB
  • Solder Blackpills with the buttons facing up. B12 to Square pad
  • Optional: Solder rotary encoders
  • Optional: Install stabilizer

Firmware is not included in QMK repo, you will have to compile it yourself. Most of the code is copied and stripped down from Vattern's Grandiceps keyboard. Blackpill bootloader: hold down the boot button on the blackpill, then press NRST. it might take some tries.

Questions

How big is the Kebu PCB?

It measures 257.2 × 95.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Kebu use?

146 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 Kebu KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Kebu 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).
