The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

MRIYA
Yeah. Some models I found in the foostan's library. Also I used grabcad.com
- Making a custom PCB - do I have the wiring correct? Details in comments.

Requesting a review of my PCB
I think regardless of the side, you won't be able to insert switches since it is covering the hole. if you have an option, i think there are a bunch of pre-configured mx switch footprints made available by foostan (check out their footprint repository for inspiration). They definitely do go on the back though, opposite of where the switches go.

Gateway to more pain
The footprint for KiCad I used is from https://github.com/foostan/kbd/ called OLED_v2.

Help with designing a reversible choc hotswappable PCB
I found these repositories pretty useful https://github.com/tzarc/reversible-kicad https://github.com/ebastler/marbastlib https://github.com/foostan/kbd https://github.com/keebio/Keebio-Parts.pretty and as u/ComBlockWither wrote: you can also use other peoples boards.

KiCad 6 and messed up Ratsnest
Here is link number 1 - Previous text "kbd"

hotswap footprint?
As /u/alinelena said, https://github.com/foostan/kbd/tree/master/kicad-footprints/kbd.pretty

Choc v1 Stabilizer Mounting Plate Cutout and Placement Dimensions?
Also have the info on one of the layers in https://github.com/keebio/Keebio-Parts.pretty/blob/master/Kailh-PG1350-2u.kicad_mod

Made a personal ortholinear keyboard
I've been worried about the setup costs for the various pcb assembly services. I'll re-evaluate the pricing with a single-switch pcb design. Fortunately there is a footprint from keebio which I can use.
- Are Cherry MX low profile compatible with the normal MX?
-
Where can I find footprints for choc stabilizers?
This. They've also published publicly the results of converting some measurements into footprints here
-
PCB that accepts SK6812MINI RGB and Choc Switches
The folks at keeb.io have a great footprint library on github that has footprints for ski mini and 'dumb' rgb undermount leds too. https://github.com/keebio/Keebio-Parts.pretty

OK35; my first keyboard design.
https://github.com/keebio/Keebio-Parts.pretty though i have modified it slightly so i might reupload that part lol
-
i made a keyboard
i'm using this library: https://github.com/keebio/Keebio-Parts.pretty it also has pro micro footprints, and the symbols are linked in the readme also
- 7x5 Split ergo board
-
My custom designed 50% ortho
Yeah, the footprint supports standard switches, low profile choc switches and I believe also alps! you can get it here
