The System76 Launch Configurable Keyboard #Keyboard #OpenSource @system76
The System76 Launch Configurable Keyboard is designed to provide the ultimate user controlled keyboard experience, with open source mechanical and electrical design, open source firmware and associated software, and a large number of user configuration opportunities. It is registered open source hardware with OSHWA US001062 and licensed CC-BY-SA-4.0.
The switches are mounted in sockets that support any RGB switch with an MX compatible footprint. Examples are the Cherry MX RGB switches and the Kailh BOX switches. Switches can be removed easily at any time with the included switch puller.
Launch connects to a computer using the included USB-C to USB-C cable or USB-C to USB-A cable. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 with speeds up to 10 Gbps with either cable, provided the computer supports these speeds. It provides 2 USB-C and 2 USB-A connectors that also support USB 3.2 Gen 2, with the 10 Gbps bandwidth shared between them on demand.
Each switch has an RGB LED that is independently controlled by firmware. This allows for a number of RGB LED patterns to be selected.
The keyboard matrix uses diodes on all intersections, providing full independent scanning of each key position.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
