Macropad

My take on a macropad that I think will suit me. The layout is a 5x4 keys with hot-swappable switch and LED. Current iteration has no knobs or display implemented, but that is an idea for future versions.

Questions
How big is the XplodePCB PCB?
It measures 270 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the XplodePCB use?
194 parts, built around the RP2040, 74AHCT1G125SE, W25Q128JVSIQ and SRV05-4. 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 XplodePCB KiCad files?
From the LeeZard79/XplodePCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Rev2PCB.kicad_pcb and its schematic Rev2PCB.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the XplodePCB design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask LeeZard79 before reusing the design.
