Questions

How big is the Picotouch pad PCB?

It measures 207.5 × 38 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Picotouch pad use?

106 parts, built around the SK6812SIDE-A, MBR120, AFC20-S02ACA-00 and SSSS811101. 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 Picotouch pad KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Picotouch pad design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
