Questions

How big is the 60pc pcb.kicad v1.1 pcb PCB?

It measures 306.8 × 98.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the 60pc pcb.kicad v1.1 pcb use?

158 parts, built around the ATMEGA32U4. 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 60pc pcb.kicad v1.1 pcb KiCad files?

From the Connor-Devitt/60pc_Mechanical_Keyboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is HW/PCB/60pc_pcb.kicad_v1.1_pcb.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the 60pc pcb.kicad v1.1 pcb design in my own project?

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