Questions
How big is the Split keyboard PCB?
It measures 4 × 8.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Split keyboard use?
185 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 Jakel71/Split-Keyboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is split-keyboard/backup1/split-keyboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic split-keyboard/backup1/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 Jakel71 before reusing the design.
