Photo of the keyboard in person

Num13 is a 45-key compact ortholinear mechanical keyboard which includes a Numpad and is 13Ux4U in size, which I designed for my own personal use.

The build is composed of 2 PCBs, the top pcb includes the key matrix (MX switches or low-profile Redragon switches w/ plate stabs), while the bottom includes the keyboard controller (a pi pico), a status led (rgb on the rB revision included here), and serves as the base of the keyboard structure itself.

Questions

How big is the Top PCB?

It measures 247 × 76 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Top use?

102 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 Top KiCad files?

From the smaldragon/Num13 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/top/top.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCad/bottom/bottom.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Top design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the Unlicense licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
