Questions
How big is the Alps66 PCB?
It measures 313.3 × 94.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Alps66 use?
184 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 Alps66 KiCad files?
From the AndrewBDavis/Alps66 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is alps66.kicad_pcb and its schematic alps66.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Alps66 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask AndrewBDavis before reusing the design.
