Questions

What parts does the Ortho normal keycap use?

69 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 Ortho normal keycap KiCad files?

From the EagleVee/keyboards repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ortho-normal-keycaps/ortho-normal-keycap.kicad_pcb and its schematic ortho-normal-keycaps/ortho-normal-keycap.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Ortho normal keycap design in my own project?

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