Overview
Macropad is an open-source printed circuit board by Coder1203, from the Coder1203/Macropad repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 67 × 85 mm with 21 parts on 23 nets, routed with 118 tracks and 4 vias.
Its parts include 10 switches, 9 diodes and 1 IC. It belongs with the keyboards and input boards and the RP2040 boards of this library.

README.mdCadPad (Hack Club Hackpad)
This was my first hardware project and also the first time for me to use a CAD software (it ragebaited me so hard, so I named my project CadPad :D). It has 9 keys, 1 rotary encoder and 1 OLED screen and a very simple case. I mostly followed the guide for the beginning part but then had to read up on a lot of stuff to complete this project.

All of the parts are already present in the kit mentioned at Hackpad page, so no extra costs i think?

Questions
How big is the Macropad PCB?
It measures 67 × 85 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Macropad use?
21 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 Macropad KiCad files?
From the Coder1203/Macropad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Macropad.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/Macropad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Macropad design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Coder1203 before reusing the design.
