A low cost, sleek, and custom 60% keyboard!
I made this program for Hack Club's Hackboard (Hackpad) and Highway programs, but moreso to learn more about PCB design! Also, the ducky I use regularly is starting to get a little old, so this would be the perfect replacement!

Questions
How big is the Keyboard PCB?
It measures 313 × 96.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Keyboard use?
134 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 Keyboard KiCad files?
From the yashsethu/60Board repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/keyboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/keyboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the 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).
