Questions
How big is the Pi450Keyboard PCB?
It measures 327.1 × 128.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Pi450Keyboard use?
80 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 Pi450Keyboard KiCad files?
From the jimbro1000/pi450Keyboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Pi450Keyboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic Pi450Keyboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Pi450Keyboard design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask jimbro1000 before reusing the design.
