Questions
What parts does the Split Keyboard use?
74 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 Split Keyboard KiCad files?
From the NotaBot003/Forge---Split-KB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Split Keyboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic KeyboardMatrix.sch.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Split Keyboard design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask NotaBot003 before reusing the design.
