Questions
How big is the Kyeboard PCB?
It measures 375.1 × 120.5 mm and has 4 copper layers, 2 mm thick.
What parts does the Kyeboard use?
241 parts, built around the BAT60A and B120-E3. 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 Kyeboard KiCad files?
From the ChristosChristoforou/Keyboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Kyeboard.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Kyeboard design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ChristosChristoforou before reusing the design.
