Questions
How big is the MS88SF3-ms keyboard PCB?
It measures 39.6 × 49.6 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the MS88SF3-ms keyboard use?
69 parts, built around the BQ24072RGTR and FFC3B07-30-T. 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 MS88SF3-ms keyboard KiCad files?
From the vsnrain/ms-keyboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/MS88SF3-ms-keyboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/MS88SF3-ms-keyboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the MS88SF3-ms keyboard design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask vsnrain before reusing the design.
