Questions

How big is the 75-keyboard pcb PCB?

It measures 323.9 × 128.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the 75-keyboard pcb use?

185 parts, built around the ATMEGA32U4-AU, PRTR5V0U2X and X322516MOB4SI. 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 75-keyboard pcb KiCad files?

From the cheephy/75-keyboard-pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is 75% keyboard pcb.kicad_pcb and its schematic 75% keyboard pcb.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the 75-keyboard pcb design in my own project?

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