Overview
Mouseboard is an open-source printed circuit board by nmz787, from the nmz787/rs232-sniffer repository on GitHub, published under the GPL-2.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 101.6 × 53.3 mm with 17 parts on 87 nets, routed with 838 tracks and 161 vias.
It is built around the SP3238ECA and SP3243EY-L. Its parts include 8 capacitors, 2 ICs, 2 connectors and 1 switch. It belongs with the interfaces and adapters boards of this library.

I needed a microcontroller-controlled RS-232 serial mouse, and had an Arduino Mega 2560 laying around.
Files are in KiCad format, the Arduino shield outline and placement was based on the Eagle file supplied by Arduino and converted by the script (https://github.com/DanChianucci/Eagle2Kicad).
All 8 RS-232 pins are accounted for, not just RX and TX.

Questions
How big is the Mouseboard PCB?
It measures 101.6 × 53.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Mouseboard use?
17 parts, built around the SP3238ECA and SP3243EY-L. 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 Mouseboard KiCad files?
From the nmz787/rs232-sniffer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is mouseboard.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Mouseboard design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
