Hall Effect Keyboard Design

continue

Thought for 4 sec

I’ll continue layout setup: apply a standard TKL board size/outline, then place the major blocks according to the keyboard geometry and run a quick layout check if resources are available.

Worked for 8 mins 36 sec

flux

I continued layout setup: resized the PCB to a 365 × 140 mm 4-layer TKL board and placed all 213 components, including the 87 Hall sensors in a TKL-style grid, USB-C/ESD/power at the rear edge, MCU/muxes centrally, and encoder at the top-right.

Open items:

I’m blocked from running the post-placement DRC because the account has no available ACUs.
Placement reported no overlap/out-of-bounds issues, but final board checks still need to be run.
Magnetic Jade Max mechanical sensor alignment still needs physical validation.

Suggested next steps:

Add ACUs, then rerun post-placement DRC.
Verify Hall sensor position vs Magnetic Jade Max switch magnet travel.
Route the board after placement checks pass.

Route and verify

Route critical nets

Verify Hall alignment

Prepare DRC checklist

Review placement risks
