Questions

How big is the SplitKeyboard PCB?

It measures 139.5 × 98.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the SplitKeyboard use?

84 parts, built around the PJ-320A. 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 SplitKeyboard KiCad files?

From the ReetuInkila/SplitKeyboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/reversible/reversible.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/reversible/reversible.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the SplitKeyboard design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
