Overview

Keyboard ISO is an open-source printed circuit board by Supermagnum, from the Supermagnum/83keys repository on GitHub, published under the CC0-1.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 377 × 162.5 mm with 177 parts on 112 nets, routed with 823 tracks and 0 vias.

It is built around the 1N4004-TP and LTL-4233. Its parts include 86 diodes, 83 switches, 4 connectors, 3 resistors and 1 IC. It belongs with the keyboards and input boards and the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

83keys

A 83 key keyboard, Norwegian QWERTY/DVORAK ISO style. It's of course possible to use other languages, as the MX cherry switches will accept keycaps with whatever language you need.

It uses 83 1N4148 diodes and three LED's for caps lock,scroll lock, and QWERTY/DVORAK. It also needs pin headers that accepts the pins from a Teensy++2.0.

That makes it easy to replace the Teensy in the case that something goes wrong. Since the Teensy++2.0 is mounted in a socket, there is no special training required because there are no need to solder any SMD components. I think that that makes it easier to mass produce because little training and special tools are required.

The keyboard layout is located here: http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/53284f72c23040b29def237b7399e567

Made using Kicad, that can be found here: https://kicad-pcb.org/

All footprints for the components needed for the keyboard is included in this GitHub. That excludes the Teensy++2.0 board and the components needed for it.

Kicad schematic symbols of Teensy modules: https://github.com/XenGi/teensy_library

QMK is here: https://qmk.fm/

The handwire folder contains files necessary to make the bottom,top and switch plates for those who want to handwire the keyboard without using a PCB. It should be compatible with Cherry Stabilizers.

I hope that the Teensy socket is wired up correctly. If not,please fork this repository and make the required changes.

Note: The diodes on the schematic diagram is wrong.

Questions

How big is the Keyboard ISO PCB?

It measures 377 × 162.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Keyboard ISO use?

177 parts, built around the 1N4004-TP and LTL-4233. 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 Keyboard ISO KiCad files?

From the Supermagnum/83keys repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Keyboard-ISO.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Keyboard ISO design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CC0-1.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
