Questions

How big is the Keyboard PCB?

It measures 415.5 × 73 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Keyboard 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 Keyboard KiCad files?

From the Spaceboards/SpaceboardsHardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Keyboards/LongBoi/kicad/keyboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic Keyboards/Waffle/kicad/Pancake_v8.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Keyboard design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-W-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
