Questions

How big is the Next keyboard PCB?

It measures 95.3 × 97.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Next keyboard use?

38 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 Next keyboard KiCad files?

From the yswallow/panda_split repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is next-keyboard.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Next keyboard design in my own project?

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