Questions
How big is the Keaboard rev1 PCB?
It measures 141.9 × 93.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Keaboard rev1 use?
61 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 Keaboard rev1 KiCad files?
From the keawade/keaboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/keaboard_rev1/keaboard_rev1.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Keaboard rev1 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask keawade before reusing the design.
