Questions

How big is the SNES CONTROLLER PCB?

It measures 57 × 76 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the SNES CONTROLLER use?

29 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 SNES CONTROLLER KiCad files?

From the Uzebox/uzebox repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is schematics/Joystick/V1.5/SNES_CONTROLLER.kicad_pcb and its schematic schematics/Joystick/V1.5/SNES_CONTROLLER.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the SNES CONTROLLER design in my own project?

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