The hardware part was pretty easy for me, but writing the firmware using QMK proved to me that i am very bad at software lol, i mainly used copilot to write it for me. Below you can see images of my bulid, and when I will asemble it, I will add photos of finished version. It has very minimalistic desing with no addons, just keys and an encoder, no lights or glitter included.

Questions
How big is the Macropad PCB?
It measures 61.9 × 82 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Macropad use?
14 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Macropad KiCad files?
From the Mando328/mi-pad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/macropad.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/macropad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Macropad design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Mando328 before reusing the design.
