I just didn't want to spend 200€+ for a refurbished Astro controller, so I'm making my own :)

Questions

What parts does the Controller use?

41 parts, built around the TEENSY 4.1 and A3214ELHLT-T. 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 Controller KiCad files?

From the Sephirothbahamut/TeensyController repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB Kicad/Project/controller.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB Kicad/Project/controller.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Controller design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Sephirothbahamut before reusing the design.
