Darkstar Backlit Keypad

This is a KiCad project for my backlit 10-key. The goal is to design a keypad for excel power-users.

Questions

How big is the Keypad PCB?

It measures 119.9 × 118.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Keypad use?

78 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 Keypad KiCad files?

From the skullydazed/Keypad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Keypad.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Keypad 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).
