Overview
Hackboard is an open-source printed circuit board by Mineinjava, from the Mineinjava/anchorkeeb repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 311.2 × 119.9 mm with 162 parts on 138 nets, routed with 609 tracks and 13 vias.
Its parts include 56 diodes, 56 switches, 4 connectors and 2 ICs. It belongs with the keyboards and input boards and the RP2040 boards of this library.
README
README.mdanchorkeeb
Split mechanical keyboard. Ortholinear layout. One display, one encoder, 4x6 + 3 keys per half.
BOM:
- 1x PCB ($30 for 5)
- 54x MX Switches
- 56x through-hole diode
- 2x Raspberry Pi Pico or equivalent
- 1x case top (3dp or 2.5d subtractive)
- 1x case bottom (3d of 2.5d subtractive)
- 2x EC11 rotary encoder
- 2x 0.91in 128x32px I2C OLED display
- 2x TRRS Jack PJ320E
I like the look of a PCB with a lot of visible traces. To achieve this, I left the PCB exposed through the case and routed all the traces in beautiful strips where they can be seen. This took a long time to route.
Produced as part of Hack Club's Hackpad v2 project.

Questions
How big is the Hackboard PCB?
It measures 311.2 × 119.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Hackboard use?
162 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 Hackboard KiCad files?
From the Mineinjava/anchorkeeb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is anchorkeeb/pcb/Hackboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic anchorkeeb/pcb/Hackboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Hackboard design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Mineinjava before reusing the design.
