TS65 - ARM Based

The Split 65% Keyboard - ARM Based

This is a custom 65% style keyboard that is split in the middle to provide a more ergonomic option whilest not being drastically different from the standard stagger used on keyboards

#Features

  • Open Source Design
  • Fully Programmable Keys
  • Split design for better ergonomics, while maintaining the currently "standard" keyboard layout
  • PCBs and case designed so that the two sides can be connected into standard 65% without split
  • Infinite layers
  • Alps & Cherry (PCB and Plate) switches supported
  • PCB mount stabs supported
  • All keys individually lit. LED on top to maintain compatibility with the few backlit keysets out there
  • 18 RGB SMD LEDs on the bottom of the PCB for under/side glow
  • 3 indicator LEDs
  • Individual resistors for the LEDs not required as it uses a dedicated LED driver
  • Either side (Left or right) can be connected to the PC
  • USB 3.0 Type A and USB Type C are used.
  • Using larger (0805) capacitors and resistors so it is easy to hand-solder
  • SMD (SOD-123) diodes only

#Layout options

  • Split backspace
  • Split left shift
  • ISO support
  • Off-center capslock
  • 2.75 and 1.75 right shift
  • Lots of options for bottom row

In the below image you can see the different options available, the top four rows represent the four rows of th keyboard and the options for the final keyboard row is represented by the remaining rows in the image. Layout Options

Questions

How big is the TS65 PCB?

It measures 299.2 × 112.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the TS65 use?

438 parts, built around the MK20DX256VLH7, 74HCT1G125GV, IP4234CZ6 and WS2812B. 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 TS65 KiCad files?

From the mohitg11/TS65ARM repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/TS65.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the TS65 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask mohitg11 before reusing the design.
