README
README.mdYetAnotherKeyboard
This is an 65% mechanical keyboard with hot-swappable MX style switches. The design is based on a nice!nano microcontroller and a nice!view display. It also supports wireless operation with a standard lithium polymer battery. The nano also supports a USB connection.

PCB
Parameters:
- 2 layer
- Material: FR-4
- Either HASL (leaded is much cheaper)
- White solder mask
Dimensions: 98.21mm*329.75mm
PCB cost: 17 USD
Shipping cost: 12.83 USD
Total cost: 29.83 USD
Case
Material: PLA, PETG, anything is fine really
Nozzle: 0.4mm/0.6mm/0.8mm
The case is far too big to fit on a standard 256mm^3 bed. If you want to replicate this build (for some reason) you may need to split the case. However I have access to a Prusa XL so I will use that.

Questions
How big is the YetAnotherKeyboard PCB?
It measures 329.7 × 98.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the YetAnotherKeyboard use?
136 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the YetAnotherKeyboard KiCad files?
From the 0x62b/YetAnotherKeyboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/YetAnotherKeyboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/YetAnotherKeyboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the YetAnotherKeyboard design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask 0x62b before reusing the design.
