CH32X-60 Improved ANSI Keyboard PCB

PCBA only. Does NOT include keycaps, switches, switch plate/bottom plate, etc.

Description

CH32X-60-ANSI-Improved: Low-Budget PCBA in 60% Form-Factor

A very simple 60% keyboard PCB which uses the CH32X MCU.

The keyboard uses rgoulter's smart-keymap firmware, which uses the sophisticated and modern Nickel configuration language to declare keyboard and keymap definitions.

The CH32X MCU uses RISC-V, and supports writing firmware with Rust.

Design goals:

• PCBA, using the powerful RISC-V CH32X0 MCU.

• Low Budget.

• Standard ANSI 60% PCB layout, but with the spacebar replaced with 6 keys.

• Firmware: See https://github.com/rgoulter/smart-keymap

The CH32X-60-ANSI-Improved fits in 60% keyboard cases.

Source files for plates to cut (or cases to 3D print) can be found under cad/ in the https://github.com/rgoulter/keyboard-labs repository.
