I’m building a custom macropad — a small mechanical keyboard with a handful of programmable keys, meant to sit next to my main keyboard for shortcuts and macros. It’s a [3]-key layout built around a Seeed XIAO RP2040, with a custom PCB I designed in KiCad and a 3D printed case I modeled in Fusion 360. The firmware runs on QMK, so each key can be remapped to whatever shortcut or macro I want.
Waiting on a reviewer. We'll let you know as soon as there's a decision.
Hi great work here! before i can approve this project youneed to change a few things! First, please replace your cad files with .step and add your cad and gerber.zip into your production folder! Great work :D
Finished the case for the HackPad!
Finished the PCB for my Hackpad macropad! It’s a [3]-key design built around a Seeed XIAO RP2040. In KiCad I wired [3] switches to the XIAO’s pins and ground, then assigned footprints and routed the traces on the back layer. The XIAO is flipped to the bottom side, so it gets soldered from below. Last, I drew the board outline and measured it at [X] x [Y] mm, which I’ll use for the case. Next up is the case in Fusion 360, then the QMK firmware.
