Overview

Keyboard is an open-source printed circuit board by wil92, from the wil92/keyboard-pcb repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 306.4 × 117.5 mm with 207 parts on 129 nets, routed with 2,161 tracks and 159 vias.

It is built around the STM32F103C6T6A. Its parts include 82 diodes, 72 switches, 13 capacitors, 12 resistors and 4 connectors. It belongs with the keyboards and input boards and the STM32 boards of this library.

keyboard-pcb

A compendium of project about DIY keyboards base on STM32 chips.

The gerber files are provided and you can use it to replicate the keyboard.

Also the 3D model for the keyboard is provided in the repository.

Keyboard Alphanum

keyboard alphanum example

This is the first keyboard I made. I decided to get an easy option where I can start my incursion on this work of keyboards. This keyboard could be used as a USB Hub and is a fun project to be made.

Keyboard Personal

Questions

How big is the Keyboard PCB?

It measures 306.4 × 117.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Keyboard use?

207 parts, built around the STM32F103C6T6A. 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 KiCad files?

From the wil92/keyboard-pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is keyboard-personal/keyboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic keyboard-alphanum/keyboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Keyboard design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask wil92 before reusing the design.
