TODO:

  • update to version 0.0.1 where pcb design is no longer reversible to help in learning basics
  • remove top row from possible switches and update accordingly: start with removing the inner thumb modifier position

Questions

How big is the Proto1 PCB?

It measures 175.6 × 159.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Proto1 use?

60 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 Proto1 KiCad files?

From the SetToNiko/Split-Keyboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is v0.0.0/output/pcbs/proto1.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Proto1 design in my own project?

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