Questions

How big is the Wfkbd PCB?

It measures 132 × 98.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Wfkbd use?

106 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 Wfkbd KiCad files?

From the foostan/wfkbd repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/wfkbd.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Wfkbd design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask foostan before reusing the design.
