Questions
How big is the ProwlerKeyboard PCB?
It measures 169.5 × 127.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the ProwlerKeyboard use?
118 parts, built around the SK6812MINI-E and ESD5Z5.0C. 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 ProwlerKeyboard KiCad files?
From the RossPorter506/ProwlerKeyboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/schematic.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/schematic.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the ProwlerKeyboard design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask RossPorter506 before reusing the design.
