Questions
How big is the Encoder switch PCB?
It measures 100 × 210 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Encoder switch use?
338 parts, built around the 74HC165D. 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 Encoder switch KiCad files?
From the papaya/Modulbox repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is MB Modul_Box NG/Encoder with led ring RGB/TEST_NOT_WORKING/Encoders swith/Encoder switch/Encoder switch.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Encoder switch design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask papaya before reusing the design.
