What this skill does
Keychron Keyboards Hardware Design Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection. What This Project Is Keychron's Keychron-Keyboards-Hardware-Design repository provides production-grade industrial design files for Keychron keyboards and mice. These are real CAD files — not approximations — covering cases, plates, stabilizers, encoders, keycaps, and full assembly models. Formats included: .stp / .step — STEP (ISO 10303) 3D solid models, importable in FreeCAD, Fusion 360, SolidWorks, CATIA, etc. .dxf — 2D Drawing Exchange Format, used for plates and cutouts in laser cutting or CNC workflows .dwg — AutoCAD native drawing format .pdf — Dimensioned engineering drawings for reference Series covered: Series Notable Models --- --- Q Series Q1–Q12, Q0 Plus, Q60, Q65 Q Pro Series Q1 Pro–Q14 Pro Q HE Series Q1 HE, Q3 HE, Q5 HE, Q6 HE K Pro Series K1 Pro–K17 Pro K Max Series K1 Max–K17 Max K HE Series K2 HE–K10 HE L Series L1, L3 V Max Series V1 Max–V10 Max P HE Series P1 HE Mice M1–M7, G1, G2 License: Source-available.
