Open-source 65% hotswap pcb. Could be useful for keyboard designers looking for a PCB for gasket or top-mounted boards.

• UDB (Unified DB) compatibility (JST-SH variant)
• Hotswap
• Underglow RGB LEDs
• Header for in-switch Caps Lock LED (alternative firmware to use it as backlight to be provided)
• RP2040 MCU
• QMK/VIA/Vial firmware
• Holes under 2u stabilizers to facilitate proper keycap installation on long-pole switches
• Rounded tracks
• STEP file provided with all the components visible
• Requires KiCad 8 to modify or produce production files
• Font used: Orbitron

• QMK
• VIA
• VIAL (with the Caps Lock footprint configured as QMK Backlighting instead)

1.2mm PCB produced by JLCPCB

It is not easy to fully install a 2/2.25/2.75u keycap on the stabilizer stems when using a long-pole switch with reduced travel. Often one side will be inserted more than the other, causing rattle. The holes on the PCB allow the use of a spare 2u wire underneath to facilitate pushing the stabilizer stems fully into the keycap.

• Round Tracks

• Fork this repo
• Changes to component placement and tracks must be made to desire65.kicad_pcb rather than desire65-rounded.kicad_pcb
• When you're done, use the Round Tracks plugin with create a new file option checked to generate a new desire65-rounded.kicad_pcb
• Open it and manually fix track-to-track and track-to-pad clearances. Use DRC to find them.
• Feel free to ignore the generated desire65-rounded.kicad_pro
