However, duplexing typically uses a complicated schematic of set ratios between rows and columns. I have used this technique a few times and thought it was documented when pcb reviewers said it was duplexed. This is useful because the insulated line property is the ideal dc characteristic of a routed pcb, no vias or jumpers. Although paper is 3 dimensional, the same principle can be applied in 2d.Ĭrushed paper seldom tears and can be unfolded again into a flat sheet, or a line in 2d. Many moons ago I happened across a lost page on wikipedia mentioning how crushed paper is the most efficient form of storage because it utilizes all available space in the compressed area. I like to use a a square ortho matrix to reduce pin count, like in this picture. TL DR - I designed a PCB and am looking for advice/input Also would love to add some USB hub functionality to the board but thats outside my knowledge/skill at this point. I also plan to add some lighting, either RGB or underglow.Īlso I plan to add a TRRS jack and hopefully design an external numpad that can be hooked up via TRRS for the occasions its needed for. I expect it to be an evolving design and as such I played around with designing one that uses an Elite-C (for future proofing). This is the largest PCB I've ever designed, but dont let that stop you from being brutally honest. I would love some input/tips/things i did right/things I ****ed up/etc.

The V2 is the one Ive put the most time into and the only one thats a completed design. I went about designing a PCB for a 65% keyboard with a rotary dial and an OLED screen (heavily influenced by the Satisfaction 75 which I would readily buy if someones selling )

After spending tons of time trying to find a board that fits all my needs I decided screw it I'll just create my own. So I've gotten pretty into the mk world over the past year.
