Skayboard

What?

Its Skaytacium's keyboard.

Why? (I get this one a lot)

Good question.

Layout?

Here.

Really, why?

I couldn't find a keyboard which had this exact layout (some suggested a 60% + numpad, do you think I'm sensible?).
I also found the pre-existing PCBs too expensive and the open source ones had goofy layouts.
I'm jobless, stupid and I regret everything.

And?

The sk keys are macro keys.
It uses QMK.
Uses SK6812 Mini-E LEDs, hand solder them if you want to, connection matrix here (because the name starts with SK).

The Skaytacium way to build one would be:
- C³Equalz Tangerines, light green (52g)
- 5mm acrylic plate
- Stacked crylic and aluminum (layered)

It took me 2 3 years to make this (check earliest commit) because of the global chip shortage and doomerism.

Details?

PCB?

2 layer
355x107 mm
AVR (32U4), keeping it as simple as possible.
- There is no ESD, overcurrent or surge protection on the PCB. I assume all modern electronic USB ports to compensate for that.
Pads made for handsoldering.
Curved traces, because the 90s were cool.
Not attached to the case in any way, only to the plate, allows for more customizable mounting options.
svg and dxf files for reference are in lib/gen.
