Clack — A Custom Mechanical Keyboard Build
Clack is a personal mechanical keyboard build crafted with a balance of sound, feel, and function — all under a budget of $150. Designed for a smooth typing experience and a clean aesthetic, Clack is as much a daily driver as it is a passion project.
Inspiration
The name Clack comes from the satisfying sound of tactile switches meeting carefully tuned stabilizers. Built for comfort and customizability, this keyboard is a love letter to DIY mechanical keyboard culture.

Questions
How big is the CLACK PCB?
It measures 546.6 × 121.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the CLACK use?
191 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 CLACK KiCad files?
From the praveenj2x/CLACK repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/CLACK.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/CLACK.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the CLACK design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
