Questions
How big is the Keyb PCB?
It measures 333.4 × 97.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Keyb use?
136 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 Keyb KiCad files?
From the NachuT/hackpad-keyb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/keyb.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/keyb.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Keyb design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask NachuT before reusing the design.
