Introduction
This project aim to create a minimalist custom keyboard using standard keycaps. The goal is to have no keys restriction compare to a 120% keyboard.
Features
Bellow a list of features of this keyboard:
- All keys from 120% keyboards (Directionnal arrows, del, backspace, G keys)
- Possibility to switch from AZERTY to QWERTY
- 8 programables macro-G-keys
- Up to 6 differents keys mapped on one switch (FN1, FN2, FN3, FN4, SHIFT, Simple press)
- Reprogramming possibility of firmware
- Electro Static Protection using TVS USB
- Very low energy consumption using STM32L0 Chip
- Case-material versatile (Wood, Aluminium, Inox, plastic, ...) (2mm cutted sheet)Layout

Questions
How big is the Keyboard steamdeck PCB?
It measures 213.4 × 77.5 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Keyboard steamdeck use?
112 parts, built around the AP63203WU, 1N4148WX-TP, CC0402KRX7R8BB104 and GMC21X7R106K16NT. 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 steamdeck KiCad files?
From the vincentBenet/keyboard_steamdeck repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is elec/keyboard_steamdeck.kicad_pcb and its schematic elec/keyboard_steamdeck.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Keyboard steamdeck design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask vincentBenet before reusing the design.
