MACROPAD V1
A wireless Raspberry Pi Pico W macropad with RGB lighting, rotary encoders, an OLED display and haptic feedback!
Key Features • PCB • Case • Credits • License
I've made this as in my experience off the shelf macropads are way too expensive for the features they offer and are also very generic. This is an alternative that is actually unique with multiple customizable switches, rotary encoders, a display, Wireless & Wired connectivity and insanely good haptics.
Key Features
- 11 programmable keys for custom shortcuts, macros, and commands
- 2 dedicated profile keys for switching between profiles
- Dual rotary encoders for profile selection, volume, endless scrolling, and custom controls
- OLED display for showing the active profile and other information
- Haptic feedback for responsive physical feedback
- QMK firmware for controlling everything through the Pico
- Vial configuration for remapping keys and controls without reflashing firmware

Questions
How big is the Macropad PCB?
It measures 114.1 × 81.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Macropad use?
49 parts, built around the SK6812MINI-E. 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 ConstantlyDying/Macropad_V1 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/board/Macropad.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/board/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 ConstantlyDying before reusing the design.
