i have made this project with pixelrift and my self he has made 3dmodel for the keyboard my task was to make the pcb, there whil be two versions: one is without a exstra screen and rotary encoder and the other version does have a rotaryencoder and 1.5 inch screen on the right half that can be used for volume control and dispalying lost of diffrent things like: pc status, mesages or spotify image image

Questions

How big is the Splitkeyboard PCB?

It measures 159 × 97.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Splitkeyboard use?

71 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 Splitkeyboard KiCad files?

From the bartvernooij7/VORTEX-Highly-customizable-keyboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/leftpart/splitkeyboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/leftpart/splitkeyboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Splitkeyboard design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CC0-1.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
