Questions
What parts does the Gkeyboard use?
27 parts, built around the ESP32-DEVKITC-32E and 1N4148WT. 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 Gkeyboard KiCad files?
From the mindmaster17/geko repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/gkeyboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/gkeyboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Gkeyboard design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
