Questions

How big is the Keyboard68 PCB?

It measures 330 × 106 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Keyboard68 use?

310 parts, built around the MT3608, WS2812B, MBR120 and DMG2305UX. 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 Keyboard68 KiCad files?

From the crohloff/keyboard68 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is keyboard_68.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Keyboard68 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
