A simple keyboard I'm making which may or may not work to learn schematics and PCB design. This was part of the keeb program at Hack Club (keeb.hackclub.com) This took me a while to make and was made using
- Kicad
- Fusion
- My Brain All files required to make it should be here. I hope you find this useful!

Questions
How big is the Keyboard PCB?
It measures 393.8 × 128.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Keyboard use?
182 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 mrobinson-12/keyboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is prod/kicad/Keyboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic prod/kicad/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 Apache-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
