README
README.mdStenography keyboard
A custom specialty keyboard that will work with Plover, an open source stenography software, that lets me type much faster and type whole words at once. It will use a raspberry pi pico and a custom case that I design, along with some keyboard switches, and some LEDs in the case for aesthetics, and a PCB to connect it all. It is wired so doesn't need batteries, but does need Plover to be installed on the computer it connects to.

Questions
How big is the Stenokeyboard PCB?
It measures 221.3 × 85 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Stenokeyboard use?
26 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 Stenokeyboard KiCad files?
From the electromarcus/stenokeyboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB Files/StenoKeyboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB Files/StenoKeyboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Stenokeyboard design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CC0-1.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
