Questions

How big is the Joystick PCB?

It measures 157.7 × 102 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Joystick use?

10 parts, built around the NRF24L01. 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 Joystick KiCad files?

From the thenu98-ops/Joystick repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Joystick.kicad_pcb and its schematic Joystick.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Joystick design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask thenu98-ops before reusing the design.
