SHARKPAD!🦈🌊

get ready for shark macropad! it could bite! sharkpad is 4x1 simple shar-themed macropad with nfc on it!

it has 4 switch aranged in a line, i plan these keyboard will be:

NFC, to open the sharkpad's website and repo

git commit (helping faster commit)

song (chilling)

AI (i put gemini here)

github

i made this project to learn how a keyboard works and i like my design on it!

for more interesting stuff, take a look at pics folder. sharkpad this is the 3d preview of the case and actually the color looks sucks here, going to change with the lighter one.

how it made?

i made this through blueprint tutorial, designing the schematic with kicad schema and this is how the PCB looks like sharkpad_pcb when i am done making PCB i continue to making the case, in here i use onshape sharkpad_otherfront

Questions

How big is the Sharkpad PCB?

It measures 89.7 × 19.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Sharkpad use?

6 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 Sharkpad KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Sharkpad design in my own project?

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