This is my take on the HackPad Macropad from HackClub, It is my first time making a custom pcb or macropad.
This Macropad has 9 buttons, 2 mini leds, and a capacitive touch button
Features
- 3d printed case
- 2 leds to show status/ layer
- customisable layers using kmk
- capacaitive touch button to swap layers.

Questions
How big is the My macropad PCB?
It measures 60.5 × 83.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the My macropad use?
24 parts, built around the SK6812. 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 My macropad KiCad files?
From the Bananaking23/MACROPAD repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is MACROPAD/PCB/my macropad.kicad_pcb and its schematic MACROPAD/PCB/my macropad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the My macropad design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Bananaking23 before reusing the design.
