Description
Project Description: This project is a custom-designed, 9-key mechanical macropad featuring a rotary encoder, powered by a Seeed Studio XIAO RP2040 microcontroller. It utilizes a custom-designed printed circuit board (PCB) to wire the MX-style switches and diodes, all housed within a custom designed 3d-printed case.
How to Use It: Once flashed with the compatible QMK keyboard firmware, simply connect the macropad to your computer via USB. You can press the mechanical keys to trigger your own personalized shortcuts, scripts, or macros, and use the rotary encoder for continuous adjustments like volume control, zooming, or timeline scrubbing.
Why I Made It: I built this macropad primarily as a hands-on learning experience to dive into custom hardware design from scratch. It served as the perfect practical project to teach myself how to design and route my own PCBs, as well as how to use CAD software to model a functional, precise 3D-printed case to fit my electronics.

Questions
How big is the Macropad kicad pcb PCB?
It measures 97 × 80 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Macropad kicad pcb use?
24 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 pcb KiCad files?
From the cwhunt-123/macropad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Macropad_kicad pcb.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/macropad_ kicad sch.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Macropad kicad pcb design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask cwhunt-123 before reusing the design.
