A simple open-source, RP2040-based, QMK-compatible 3x3 mechanical macropad.
Rationale
The main goal of this project is to have a cheap, easy-to-build, feature-rich numpad which is completely open source.
You can now buy the CoryDora yourself at the Absurd Store. Onboarding instructions are available here. Full build guide is available here.
Features:
- Easy to source and build components.
- Hot swappable keys.
- QMK compatible.
- OLED 0.91" screen.
- At least 1 rotary encoder
- Completely open-source.

Questions
How big is the CoryDora PCB?
It measures 89.6 × 60.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the CoryDora use?
27 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 CoryDora KiCad files?
From the balub/CoryDora repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is CoryDora.kicad_pcb and its schematic CoryDora.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the CoryDora design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask balub before reusing the design.
