Lexicon 65% Writing Keyboard

The Lexicon (or if you prefer the Lexicon 69 or the Cluney №3) is a 65% keyboard designed for writing prose, available from WeirdLittleKeebs. With an extensive collection of shortcuts for words, formatting commands, and extended punctuation, this keyboard changes the experience of writing while maintaining a standard QWERTY layout. Check out the User's Guide to see how its unique features work.

Questions

How big is the Lexicon 69 PCB?

It measures 323.9 × 95.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Lexicon 69 use?

182 parts, built around the RP2040, W25Q128JVSIQ, AMS1117-3.3 and USBLC6-2SC6. 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 Lexicon 69 KiCad files?

From the nekoewen/lexicon repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Lexicon69/Lexicon 69.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/Lexicon 69 - PLATE BOT/Lexicon 69.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Lexicon 69 design in my own project?

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