Questions

How big is the KeyboardPCBv2 PCB?

It measures 45 × 28 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the KeyboardPCBv2 use?

13 parts, built around the BSS138. 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 KeyboardPCBv2 KiCad files?

From the sam-was-here/PUMBA-Keyboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/keyboardPCBv2.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/keyboardPCBv2.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the KeyboardPCBv2 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
