This is the ModeBoard42. It is for the hackpad mission, and the goal is to make a macropad with different preset modes. With a 16 key matrix, I wasn’t able to include a rotary encoder on the current microcontroller, so the 16th key off to the side will be combined with the scroll wheel to scroll through modes and there will be an intuitive way to easily switch keybinds. This version is called MC Built because the key layout is arranged in my Minecraft hotkey arrangement.

Schematic and PCB almost finished!

I have finished the schematic, and the PCB just needs an outline and I want to add some things like art and maybe some type of branding.
