Overview
Custom keyboard is an open-source printed circuit board by sysangl, from the sysangl/clicky-slab repository on GitHub, published under the GPL-3.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 343.3 × 125.8 mm with 178 parts on 120 nets, routed with 680 tracks and 8 vias.
It belongs with the keyboards and input boards and the RP2040 boards of this library.

A custom keyboard that would probably cause a house fire.
Why did I make this?
I was bored, and I needed to fix my current keyboard.
Features
This is a 86-key keyboard, which should have at least 4KRO, using KMK on a Raspberry Pi Pico. The case and keycaps are 3D printed. It contains all the keys on a normal keyboard without a numpad and the PRINT_SCREEN key. There are an additional 5 keys on the right hand side that can be customised to do whatever you want. By default these would control the KMK keyboard layers.

Questions
How big is the Custom keyboard PCB?
It measures 343.3 × 125.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Custom keyboard use?
178 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 Custom keyboard KiCad files?
From the sysangl/clicky-slab repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/custom-keyboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/Libraries/OPL_Kicad_Library-master/Grove Vision AI V2 Library/Grove - Vision AI Module V2.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Custom keyboard design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
