Ever felt the need to have almost 200 keys on your keyboard? No? Neither had I until recently.
I should probably explain this project a little, initially it started out as me needing something to put 200 blank keycaps on that I’d bought. I was going to handwire the whole thing but /u/yiancar came along and offered to design a PCB for the project. I could hardly refuse the offer.
The name for the project isn’t final yet but I’m thinking “Squared” since you know, it’s a 14x14 square.
Production will be fairly limited unless there is significant interest
It’s going to be 14x14, all 1u keys. It supports Alps/Matias switches and MX style switches.
There are SMD LEDs and they can be controlled in the following modes:
All LEDs on or off with brightness control, cycling rows with different brightness and stationary individual rows and brightness control.
No plans for RGB on this design of the PCB maybe next time or one of our other projects ;)
The renders show microUSB but we’re more likely to go with miniUSB in the end, there will also be a physical reset button for programming.

Yes the PCB will most likely be made in red unless people really really don’t like the look of that.

We’re still getting quotes on how much it would cost to get mounting plates made for these.
It’s not too late for us to make some changes to the design so all feedback will be greatly appreciated along with what you’d like to see as the next PCB/Keyboard.
If you have any questions I’m happy to answer :)
