You have your macros. You have your 60 keys routed in a beautiful matrix. Now you export.

Small signal transistors, MOSFETs, and low-dropout regulators.

Sometimes a downloaded macro isn't perfect. Its silkscreen might be too close to the pads, or a pad's size might be wrong. Fortunately, you can edit any macro.

The software's standout feature is its system. In Sprint Layout, a "macro" is essentially a template of an electronic component. It's a reusable block containing the pads, copper pours, and even silkscreen artwork of a part like a resistor, a USB port, or critically, a mechanical key switch. Instead of drawing the same component from scratch every time, you simply drag and drop its macro onto your workspace. For a keyboard with over 60 near-identical keys, this system is the difference between a tedious chore and a streamlined, enjoyable design process. This guide will walk you through the exact process, culminating in a "macros sprint layout 60 top" that you can call your own.

Your first planning tool should be the web-based (KLE). Here you can visually design every key, from the alphas and modifiers to the spacebar. KLE will help you determine the exact key units for your layout. Once you've finalized your layout, you can use it as a direct reference for your work in Sprint Layout. This initial planning ensures your macros will be placed on a 19.05mm grid, which is the universal standard for key spacing. Make sure your Sprint Layout grid is set to 19.05mm for consistency.

Keep your user-created macros in a dedicated user folder (e.g., User_Custom ). This ensures that if you update or reinstall the main software package in the future, your custom designs won't accidentally be overwritten.

If a specific component is missing from your "top" list, Sprint-Layout makes it easy to create your own:

You could use KiCad or Altium. They are powerful. But they are also overkill for a simple 2-layer, 60-key grid. is the hot glue gun of PCB software—fast, dirty, and effective.
