What a Nice Dongle...
Description
I wanted a dongle with a Nice!Nano and Nice!View to match my typeractive board. All parts will be bought from typeractive to keep it simple but you can buy them anywhere else if you want to...

Questions
How big is the WAND PCB?
It measures 18.5 × 49.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the WAND use?
5 parts, built around the SSSS811101. 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 WAND KiCad files?
From the DaveuRrr/WAND repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is WAND.kicad_pcb and its schematic WAND.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the WAND 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).
