README
README.mdAn Ordinary Macropad
What does it do you ask? Well, Macropad Stuff
I told you, it's nothing special, just ordinary
Why press multiple keys at once on your keyboard to run a task, just bind it to one key!
Alright now you may be thinking, how was it made?
Well tbh, idk...
I was expecting it to break, and well it kinda did for the first 2 pcbs, mainly coz of my terrible soldering
But then, something happened, it finally worked
How? don't ask
All I know is that it works, and the keys are badly soldered so some are higher than others
And the thing doesn't stay flat coz the diodes are badly aligned
And a case?
well I got a 3d printer thanks to arcade... I just gotta finish the design
When will I do that?
Eventually.
Okay, thats enough yapping from me, go make your own macropad to do macropad stuff
How? Don't ask me, figure it out, make it different, better, faster, nicely soldered
Just have fun making it, I know for sure I did
Thats it from me, cya..

Questions
How big is the Macropad PCB?
It measures 61.9 × 104.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Macropad use?
25 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 D99-1/macropad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is macropad.kicad_pcb and its schematic 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 D99-1 before reusing the design.
