Keyboardcontroller

It´s a keyboard with the objective of being a leverless controller inspired by the arcade controllers specially designed for playing fgc games. All controlled with a raspberrypi PICO. It's main prupose its to serve as a controller for Street fighter, Tekken, etc... But it's sure that I will find more uses to it. It's Inspired by Hitbox controllers and I do plan on making a levered version of it, it could be interpreted as a Keyboard extension also.

Questions

How big is the Keyboard PCB?

It measures 235 × 140 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Keyboard use?

29 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 Keyboard KiCad files?

From the Marc-Blanco/Keyboardcontroller repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is models/PCB/Keyboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic models/PCB/Keyboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Keyboard 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).
