+#### Pico42: Simple Hand-Solderable PCB in BM40/JJ40 Form-Factor
+
+A very simple, hand-solderable PCB which uses the Raspberry Pi Pico dev board.
+
+I made this design because in my first attempt at designing a CNC case for the PyKey40,
+I put the cutout for the USB connector in the wrong place.
+Having a design which doesn't use a USB connector underneath the PCB works around this.
+
+The form factor encourages the thumbs to use 2-3 keys each (and rely on the pinky fingers less).
+
+Design goals:
+
+- Simple, hand-solderable PCB.
+
+- Uses Raspberry Pi Pico devboard. / Doesn't use USB connector underneath PCB.
+
+- Same mounting holes as JJ40/BM40/PyKey40.
