Env-ChocV2TKL

A Compact TKL layout utilizing Choc V2s and a Raspberry Pi Pico

What this is

This is an experiment/concept, Ive been wanting a choc keyboard for a while but finding keycaps for choc V1s is rather difficult. There are also almost no ISO Keycap sets that would go on a TKL HOWEVER! it appears Choc V2s are more alike cherry LP switches which fit normal MX keycaps, they have a different footprint to Choc V1s and MX style switches (which Cherry LP is also not like normal MX).

feel free to steal the Choc V2 footprint out of here but, I made it by modifying the choc V1 footprint and just adjusted/resized a couple bits to fit but im not wholly sure if its correct.. well it should be as per the dimentions listed by Kailh.

Questions

How big is the EnvChocTKL PCB?

It measures 347.8 × 119.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the EnvChocTKL use?

193 parts, built around the 1N4148W and TYPE-C-31-M-14. 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 EnvChocTKL KiCad files?

From the Envious-Data/Env-ChocV2TKL repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB Design/EnvChocTKL.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB Backplate/EnvChocTKL-BackPlate.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the EnvChocTKL 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).
