Questions
How big is the Split keyboard PCB?
It measures 238.4 × 150.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Split keyboard use?
129 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 Split keyboard KiCad files?
From the Festivius/split-keyboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/split-keyboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/side.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Split keyboard design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Festivius before reusing the design.
