Back

I'm trying to design a keyboard that needs to fit into a small area (550mm by 15mm) and I realized I can technically get a little more room by making it have two right-angle PCBs. I could do that by designing two PCBs... or I could just have a pico mounted at 90 degrees!

Something not entirely unlike this.

I just realized this PCB is actually bigger than my chosen PCB fab can make.

I mean, unless I have them make it diagonally, but I imagine that'd be a tad expensive

I locked up kicad for 5 minutes by accidentally trying to insert 8000 keys

@StellaFoxxie suggested I make it EVEN BIGGER and I got up to 254 keys and 1.9m meters before kicad started to completely shit itself

Here it is with an iso-standard height reference, a 5'12" foone

I made a boringly sensible version of it.
18cm/7", 20 keys.

Labeled the keys

@StompyRobot you'll have to take it up with The Yardbirds
