SST60 – an open-source RP2040-based PCB by u/PM_ME_A_SHOWER_BEER.

Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 150K readers.
Dani Klein aka PM_ME_A_SHOWER_BEER shared the files of their SST60, a fully open-source multi-layout 60% PCB.
This PCB has been in development for a long while, and by the time it was completed I decided it would be best utilized as both an open option for members of the community to get made themselves, and as a template for (hopefully) future boards that want to incorporate the RP2040 MCU into their designs – PM_ME_A_SHOWER_BEER.
Features
- RGB underglow
- on-board RP2040 MCU
- MX and Alps compatible
- Indicator light positions for Caps Lock and Esc
- Standard tray mount support
- Gummy O-Ring support ("Bakenko, ogre, etc. anything that h60 supports, this does too.")
- USB-C or Unified Daughterboard (or equivalent with the same pinout)
- Overcurrent and ESD protection
- Flex cuts
