Questions
How big is the Starter Keyboard PCB?
It measures 82.1 × 123.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Starter Keyboard use?
44 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 Starter Keyboard KiCad files?
From the Virulentis/Starter-Keyboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Starter-Keyboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic Starter-Keyboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Starter Keyboard design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
