A Macropad with dual mode.
Overview
Dropdeck is compact custom built macropad with 5 machanical switches,1 infinite rotary encoder , 1 potentiometer and seed studio XIAO RP2040.128X32 pixels display Dropdeck has 2 modes chill mode for the normal usage like desktop productivity and the Beast mode for the AAA title gaming.
Inspiration
The inspiration for the Dropdeck came from challenge faced by me during the gaming and normal usage to use shortcuts. The Dropdeck fixes that problems as in chill mode it will help in using shortcuts easily for opening/closing tab,screenshot and in Beastmode or quick game interactions like healing , loadout etc It is not built to replace the keyboard its built to make life easier while gaming and productive task.
Features
• dual modes
• analog volume mixer
• quick actions in game
• Volume increase and decrease

Questions
How big is the DROPDECK PCB?
It measures 117.5 × 68.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the DROPDECK use?
14 parts, built around the PTL30-15R1-104B2. 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 DROPDECK KiCad files?
From the avadsariya0-coder/DROPDECK repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is DROPDECK P.C.B/DropDeck.kicad_pcb and its schematic DROPDECK P.C.B/DropDeck.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the DROPDECK 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).
