Questions
How big is the TKL Keyboard PCB?
It measures 372.7 × 125.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the TKL Keyboard use?
217 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 TKL Keyboard KiCad files?
From the Danimal2k/TKL_Keyboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is TKL_Keyboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic TKL_Keyboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the TKL Keyboard design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Danimal2k before reusing the design.
