This project is completed and will not get updated anymore.

QMK compatible drop-in replacement PCB for the Apple Extended Keyboard II

The PCB is built entirely with THT parts to keep a somewhat "vintage" look to it and it uses the fullsize 40-pin DIP package ATmega32A. The controller is placed in the exact same location as the one on the original PCB.

Partslist

Most of the parts in this list are just examples and they can be replaced with any component with the same specs.
They don't have to be from any specific manufacturer or brand to work on this board.

The USB breakout PCB/Daughterboard is NOT included in this repo. You will have to find one yourself.
Pretty much any kind of breakout board that has usable VCC, GND, D+ and D- pins should work for this.
