Hey guys, not sure if we do PCB reviews in this group, but I figured I'd give it a shot since I know it was a thing that happened over in the bad website.
It's essentially a 5x6+1+encoder board. Images below and open source hardware repo is linked.

This is baby's first PCB design, so feel free to tear me a new one in the comments so I can make good boards.
You're viewing a single thread.
I’ve not gone tracing through it all. It looks neat. My one call out would be to try not to have 90 degree bends. You have on on the bottom right of the image. Not saying it won’t work. Just something I’ve always been told to avoid.
Good to know that's something to avoid, thank you! I also noticed that I didn't connect one of the keys right next to that because of your comment.
