Overview
RGB keyboard is an open-source printed circuit board by snyderitis, from the snyderitis/rgb_keypad repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 95.3 × 127 mm with 61 parts on 71 nets, routed with 330 tracks and 0 vias.
It is built around the WS2812B. Its parts include 20 capacitors and 20 switches. It belongs with the keyboards and input and lEDs and displays boards and the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

A short description of the keyboard/project
Keyboard Maintainer: Snyderitis
Hardware Supported: The kicad files for the PCB are in the "RGB keyboard" folder.
Hardware Availability: I used WS2812B leds with 0.1uF SMD capacitors and a teensy. In the future it would be wiser to use an Arduino Pro mini as they're essentially the same and have the same pin layout.
Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
make 20keyrgb:defaultSee build environment setup then the make instructions for more information.

Questions
How big is the RGB keyboard PCB?
It measures 95.3 × 127 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the RGB keyboard use?
61 parts, built around the WS2812B. 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 RGB keyboard KiCad files?
From the snyderitis/rgb_keypad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is RGB keyboard/RGB keyboard.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the RGB keyboard design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask snyderitis before reusing the design.
