About The Goobertrax-E

The Goobertrax-E is a 30 key hot swappable Hummingbird-like Keyboard using the RP2040 Zero for the MCU. Has a PMW3360 sensor Built into the PCB, 3 dedicated mouse keyb buttons, and supports 2 panisonic rotary encoders.

Keyboard is named the Goober because only a goober would use one. It is a very goofy keyboard. The thumbs keys are super "tucky" and it is awkward to figure out a layout. But once you get used to it, it just might become your favorite keyboard!

The keyboard runs on VIAL QMK firmware. Goober

Questions

How big is the CHore PCB?

It measures 214.8 × 117.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the CHore use?

76 parts, built around the CH552G 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 CHore KiCad files?

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

Can I use the CHore design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask doesntfazer before reusing the design.
