hiya, you seem to have gotten funding and your hackpad kit, but havent physically built it yet. please do that, add photos of that to your readme and a youtube video of you showing it off as your demo, then resubmit!
I finally completed the IeroPad, even though it looks a little weird it still works!
Added a Rotary encoder for changing the volume and muting
Just made the assembled CAD, I think it looks pretty nice

Please write a detailed readme with project screenshots, BOM etc.
Hackpad Devlog
A little 3-key macropad, built from scratch.
Built a tiny 3-key macropad — PCB, plate, and case, all from scratch.
PCB — designed in KiCad, three switches in a column.
Plate — generated online, then shaped in Fusion 360.
Case — modeled in Fusion 360: sized to fit the PCB, mounting holes, hollowed out, USB cutout on the side.
Tricky bits — hidden sketches after extruding, accidentally moving the whole case instead of one part, and figuring out that centering a part isn’t the same as closing the gap around it.
