Questions

How big is the Keyboard2 PCB?

It measures 356.4 × 102.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Keyboard2 use?

140 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 Keyboard2 KiCad files?

From the nicobonik/customKeyboardBLE repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is keyboard2.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Keyboard2 design in my own project?

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