Starboard!
I made this macro keyboard from scratch.
This was my first time using KiCad and Fusion for a project! (And it took forever...)
But it was a really fun project.
Checkout the demo website using Three.js!
I really can't wait to see my keyboard irl

Starboard!

  1. Starboard is a compact 63×63 mm Hackpad macropad built entirely from kit parts with QMK firmware and a fully 3D-printed sandwich case.

  2. I designed the 2-layer PCB in KiCad and wrote a custom-matrix QMK keymap (six keys plus encoder press, encoder volume control, OLED status readout, and RGB underglow), then cross-checked the firmware pin map against the board netlist from three independent sources.

  3. Along the way I caught and fixed a stale prebuilt UF2 (a leftover 10 ms vs 30 ms bootmagic delay) by rebuilding deterministically from source, and confirmed every checklist dimension.

  4. Finally I packaged the repo to the required structure and pushed it public!

Full 3D Modeling
It was way harder than my first thought…

  • Many PCB correction… etc.

I’m working on Fusion!
But I think I need to fix some collision and clearance a bit.

Does it look good?
