Questions

How big is the Simple split MX PCB?

It measures 182.1 × 114.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Simple split MX use?

126 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 Simple split MX KiCad files?

From the Swimnato/SplitKeyboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is simple_split_MX.kicad_pcb and its schematic simple_split V1.0.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Simple split MX design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the Apache-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
