About the Mini keyboard PCB
Mini keyboard is an open source PCB design by hdlguy, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 158.8 × 120.7 mm, with 87 components from 5 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the MX1A-11NN, DEV-15583 and ABX00027. By type, the board carries 44 ICs, 42 diodes and 1 switch.
It belongs with the keyboards designs in this gallery.

Miscellaneous KiCad work
This is a repo to contain some simple attempts to use Kicad 6 to design printed circuit boards.
I like to make it so that design files are usable by just cloning them from GitHub but that is not completely possible with KiCad because libraries are external to the design folders and KiCad relies on user level pathname to access libraries.
The official KiCad libraries are cloned from these url:
