Questions

How big is the SNES Controller PCB?

It measures 100 × 77.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the SNES Controller use?

56 parts, built around the WS2812. 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 SNES Controller KiCad files?

From the mage0r/SNES-Controller repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is SNES-Controller.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the SNES Controller design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask mage0r before reusing the design.
