README
README.mdWhimsy - Rev0.21
A 40% keyboard with exposed Elite-C/OLED and Rotary encoder.
My first attempt at designing a "proper" custom keyboard. I spent far too long looking at all the amazing new PCB's and custom keyboards being released and having a massive urge to do one for myself. Here is my first attempt.
I've not taken delivery of the physical PCBs as of yet so i can't comment on how well i did, but they will be with me shortly.
STILL IN DEVELOPMENT - NOT READY FOR PRODUCTION - DO NOT ORDER
Plans 🤔
rev1: A working version of the board and an FR4 sandwich case
rev2: Tidied up traces and an acrylic case
Say hi 👋
If you're interested in any aspect of this board or want to point out anything that could be done better in a more private manner, head on over to my website and you'll find a few different methods on there.

Questions
How big is the Whimsy PCB?
It measures 268.9 × 81 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Whimsy use?
112 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 Whimsy KiCad files?
From the Prkns/Whimsy repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Whimsy.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Whimsy design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Prkns before reusing the design.
