My first self made Mechanical Keyboard built through iteration
What is this?
A 60% Alice Style Tactile Mechanical Keyboard
- Hot Swappable Switches: through kailh socker
- 61 keys: No dedicated arrow keys, numpads or F-x keys
- Rgb light: individual Addressable RGBs
- Firmware: RMK Firmware
Why?
It started 2 mnths ago in the beginning of august, i was kinda new in vim and wanted to become a complete keyboard guy and then i saw the YSWS in hackclub named keeb that would fund me if i make the keyboard, at the beginning, i had no idea how tf a mechanical keyboard works but slowly got to know all things and built a keyboard yay. It would been built in ~2 weeks had i not had my exams and other projects :/

License
It's under MIT license, so copy it, modify it, sell it, become a billionaire, i expect nothing in return. But if it breaks, explodes, catches fire, or opens a portal to nether, that’s between you and your hardware. I was never here >~<
AI usage
Used ai to know more about how a mechanical keyboard works under the hood, measurements i should use, design inspiration, component links and what would be best for me

Questions
How big is the Keebiter PCB?
It measures 340.6 × 156.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Keebiter use?
211 parts, built around the SK6812MINI-E. 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 Keebiter KiCad files?
From the sakg-dev/keebiter repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/kicad.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad/key_matrix.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Keebiter 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).
