Here is a collection of various schematics for the Nintendo Famicom and related hardware.
Schematics were pulled from various Japanese sites and dumped onto an Atari themed vintage electronics focused website, however were "lost" when said website went down sometime between late 2017 and early 2018.
Thankfully, though, they were all backed up onto the Wayback Machine & various other sites, and just took a bit of digging to collect.
I do not know who the original creators of these schematics are, unfortunately.
I'm informed that the schematics were originally drawn by Enri.

Questions
How big is the Nintendo Famicom Keyboard HVC-007 PCB?
It measures 380 × 160 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Nintendo Famicom Keyboard HVC-007 use?
106 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 Nintendo Famicom Keyboard HVC-007 KiCad files?
From the BrettHallen/Nintendo-Famicom repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Keyboard_HVC-007/KiCad/Nintendo_Famicom_Keyboard_HVC-007.kicad_pcb and its schematic 3D_System_HVC-032/KiCad/Nintendo_3D_System_HVC-032.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Nintendo Famicom Keyboard HVC-007 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask BrettHallen before reusing the design.
