Questions

How big is the Wiimote USB Adapter PCB?

It measures 45 × 35 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Wiimote USB Adapter use?

20 parts, built around the LM1117-3.3 and M2.5. 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 Wiimote USB Adapter KiCad files?

From the Embedded-Shark-LLC/Wiimote-USB-Adapter repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/Wiimote-USB-Adapter.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/Wiimote-USB-Adapter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Wiimote USB Adapter design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Embedded-Shark-LLC before reusing the design.
