Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 140K readers.

The P60 (Pabile 60-Key) is a 5x12 grid ortholinear keyboard powered by RP2040 Pico microcontroller. P60 features one rotary encoder at top right corner, north facing hot swap MX switch sockets and per key RGB backlight.

Wifey informed me that our 6 month-old Kiki the Cat passed away. This is the reason why I am releasing the P60. I am trying to celebrate the happy times we had with her – Pabile.

Features

  • 57-60 keys
  • MX, hotswap
  • RP2040 Pico
  • per-key LED (SK6812 MNINI-E)
  • optional encoder

Orientation of RGB LEDs rotates per (physical) row - white dot is the GND marker. (First row have LED GND at top left, 2nd have LED GND at bottom right, and so on.) Diode direction all points Up. A pin out connected to GP12 and GND is open for additional peripheral.
