SOR Hydrogen Keyboard

The Hydrogen is my first custom mechanical keyboard, heavily inspired by the Corne. It is a thin, split, wireless ergonomic board designed specifically to match the stagger and splay of my fingers. The Hydrogen uses hotswappable Kalih Choc V2 switches, designed for use with low profile keycaps, and is based on the Seeed Xiao nRF52840 dev board. It can be used either via a USB-C (also used for charging) or a Bluetooth connection (which requires a LiPo battery for each half).

Questions

How big is the SOR Hydrogen PCB?

It measures 140.4 × 111.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the SOR Hydrogen use?

66 parts, built around the D12, D14, D16 and D22. 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 SOR Hydrogen KiCad files?

From the samienr/SOR-Hydrogen repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/main.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/main.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the SOR Hydrogen 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).
