Overview
PocketVoltex is an open-source printed circuit board by mon, from the mon/PocketVoltex repository on GitHub, published under the GPL-3.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 168 × 109.2 mm with 51 parts on 50 nets, routed with 331 tracks and 86 vias.
It is built around the ATMEGA32U2-AU and SK9822. Its parts include 8 diodes, 8 switches, 6 capacitors, 4 resistors and 2 connectors. It belongs with the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

Project status
There is a major revision coming sometime 2021 but I estimate requires 50+ hours to complete design. It will significantly improve manufacturing efficiency and hopefully allow me to sell controllers while working full-time.
Please don't hold your breath on a timely release, but I have not forgotten this project.

Questions
How big is the PocketVoltex PCB?
It measures 168 × 109.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the PocketVoltex use?
51 parts, built around the ATMEGA32U2-AU and SK9822. 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 PocketVoltex KiCad files?
From the mon/PocketVoltex repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/PocketVoltex.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the PocketVoltex design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
