Building my own mechanical keyboard!
My keeb is an open-source printed circuit board by Fungichi, from the Fungichi/KEEB repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 242.8 × 92 mm with 66 parts on 62 nets, routed with 191 tracks and 0 vias.
Its parts include 32 switches and 28 diodes. It belongs with the keyboards and input boards and the RP2040 boards of this library.
My DIY mechanical keyboard (sandwich mount). It has 28 keys of which 4 are 3u keys. This keyboard is especially designed to play games that were meant to be played on a *controller: each key replaces a part of the controller. It is ideal for rhytm games, Tetris, Mortal Kombat and many other retro games.
My goal was to get a first feeling with hardware/pcb's. I think this is the perfect project to start with pcb's because the electronics part was pretty simple. That aside I do regret spending so much time on the case, as I think this is rather boring.
The keyboard will be shown down below when I get the parts. What I learned:

The 61 most common of 66 parts.
It measures 242.8 × 92 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
66 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.
From the Fungichi/KEEB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/my-keeb/my-keeb.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/my-keeb/my-keeb.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Fungichi before reusing the design.
