A 65% Keyboard with a rotary encoder, OLED screen and LEDs!
This repository contains all the resources necessary to hack and produce the 65% keyboard I designed by from scratch! The main features:
- 65% layout
- RBG LED under every key
- OLED screen for fun
- Rotary encoder for volume control
- Pi Pico as main brain
Every feature and placement is to give the keyboard it's own sense of uniqueness and identity! I learnt many things while building this keyboard, here are the biggest ones:
- The importance of decoupling capacitors
- Why logic level converters are needed
- The interactions between Vias and ground fills
This keyboard uses 2 PCBs, one as the main keyboard and a second with the OLED screen and rotary encoder.
