Recently, I’ve gotten into Minecraft speedrunning, but I quickly noticed that you need to press a lot of difficult keybinds to make your runs efficient and fast. For example, F3 + F or F3 + Shift + F is used to quickly increase or decrease the render distance in Minecraft, which is useful for pearl hanging, calculating the distance to the blaze spawner, and many other speedrunning strategies. While doing this, you also need to keep moving and perform other tasks, which makes pressing these keybinds very difficult.
This is why I am creating my Speedrun Deck, which you can customize to perform any keyboard shortcut with a single button for Minecraft. This is my first time working with electronics, so I hope this will be a good first project.
To recreate the project, download the 3d model and gerber files (pcb) and print in the best way for you. Next get a xiao RP2040, 6 mx cherry switch with keycaps. After everything arrives solder the component togeather and flash the rp2040 with the code generated by CodeSetup.py or download the code.py from the firmware folder.

Questions
How big is the Hackpad PCB?
It measures 62.9 × 63.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Hackpad use?
9 parts, built around the SK6812MINI-E. 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 Hackpad KiCad files?
From the AronTheB/SpeedRunDeck repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Hackpad.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/Hackpad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Hackpad design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask AronTheB before reusing the design.
