Questions

How big is the Fabricate Wireless Macropad PCB?

It measures 84 × 78 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Fabricate Wireless Macropad use?

78 parts, built around the 74AHCT1G125SE, TPS61023DRL, MCP23008-E/SO and AO3401A. 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 Fabricate Wireless Macropad KiCad files?

From the Catsarepro21/hackpad_v2 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Fabricate_Wireless_Macropad.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/Fabricate_Wireless_Macropad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Fabricate Wireless Macropad design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Catsarepro21 before reusing the design.
