A cyberpunk themed sayopad inspired device.
So I made this little cyberpunk themed macro pad, mostly because I wanted something dedicated for Geometry Dash and Osu!, but it also doubles as a pretty handy shortcut pad for normal desktop use. Here is the components thats made into it: An OLED screen for animations (bongo cat) or keys pressed! A rotary encoder (the knob) for volume and scrolling. 3 Cherry MX switches because you need that responsive feel for the rhythm games, or quick actions!.
The hardest part of the build This was my first time really messing around with Onshape to design the case. If you have ever done 3D modeling, you probably know the pain, but for me, the absolute worst part was figuring out filleting. Trying to round out the sharp edges so it didn't look like a literal brickwithout the software completely throwing an error and breaking the whole model, took way more trial and error than I care to admit.
But it finally came together, and it looks pretty clean.

Questions
How big is the Sudo PCB?
It measures 62 × 43.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Sudo use?
6 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 Sudo KiCad files?
From the aahvl/sudopad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is sudo/sudo.kicad_pcb and its schematic sudo/sudo.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Sudo design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
