Questions

How big is the Laser keyboard PCB?

It measures 336.8 × 109.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Laser keyboard use?

179 parts, built around the ATMEGA32U4-MU, PMW3360DM-T2QU, TPS73601DBV and SK6812MINI-E. 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 Laser keyboard KiCad files?

From the bbrfkr/laser-keyboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is laser-keyboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic laser-keyboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Laser keyboard design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask bbrfkr before reusing the design.
