Questions

How big is the Intro keyboard PCB?

It measures 114 × 24 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Intro keyboard use?

22 parts, built around the WS2812B. 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 Intro keyboard KiCad files?

From the joshajohnson/intro-keyboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/intro-keyboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/intro-keyboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Intro keyboard design in my own project?

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