README
README.mdDescription of My Project
This project is my take on a keyboad; it is orthognal, low profile keyboard with fancy knobs (cause who doesn't like knobs). The reason I made this project is beacuse I have never loved the keyboard I have had for years now, and I have always wanted to try an orthongnal keyboard. This keyboard is based on the creator keyboard by work louder but I am not paying $350 for a keyboard when I can just build one!

Questions
How big is the Centauri PCB?
It measures 299.2 × 90.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Centauri use?
145 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 Centauri KiCad files?
From the FDragon07/centauri-keyboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/Centauri.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCad/Centauri.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Centauri design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask FDragon07 before reusing the design.
