Introducing Mist65, a 65% custom keyboard inspired by bakeneko65. The PCB, aptly named Mist, features a sleek black design reminiscent of nighttime fog. To keep costs reasonable, the ATmega32u4 controller has been replaced with the budget-friendly RP2040 Zero, maintaining similar functionality.
Designed with a 65% layout, Mist65 strikes a balance between compactness and functionality, housing arrow keys for enhanced usability. VIA support ensures seamless keymap customization to tailor the keyboard to your preferences.
For those interested, the Mist65 PCB is available for purchase here (indonesian domestic). If considering group buy or commercial use, kindly adhere to the specified terms.

Questions
How big is the Mist65 PCB?
It measures 303.9 × 94.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Mist65 use?
137 parts, built around the RP2040-ZERO. 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 Mist65 KiCad files?
From the naaeell/Mist65 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is mist65/pcb/mist65.kicad_pcb and its schematic mist65/pcb/mist65.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Mist65 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).
