Questions
How big is the Aeon keyboard PCB?
It measures 143.4 × 111.8 mm and has 6 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Aeon keyboard use?
95 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 Aeon keyboard KiCad files?
From the BrainX-Group/pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad_files/aeon-keyboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad_files/aeon-keyboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Aeon keyboard design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask BrainX-Group before reusing the design.
