Questions

How big is the Keys PCB?

It measures 358.9 × 180.7 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Keys use?

461 parts, built around the BQ24075RGT, SRV05-4, 1N4148WS and BLM15PX121SN1D11. 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 Keys KiCad files?

From the greifer500/Keyboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is keys.kicad_pcb and its schematic keys.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Keys design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask greifer500 before reusing the design.
