README.mdDuskpad
Duskpad is a 16-key quad-layer macro pad with an OLED display and underglow RGB using WS2812B leds running QMK and Via. it was built for Hackclub Stardance with the Hackpad misson.
Features:
- 128x32 OLED Display
- 20 WS2812B RGB LEDs. 16 for per key lighting, and 4 layer indicators
- 16 Keys
- VIA support
CAD Model:
Everything fits together using 6 M3 Bolts and heatset inserts.
It has 3 separate printed pieces. The base, the middle to clamp down on the PCB, and the top cover.
Made in onshape

Firmware Overview
This hackpad uses QMK firmware for everything.
- The 16 keys currently act as macros I dynamically change in VIA.
- 4 preset layers(setting,numpad, and idk what to do with the other 2)
- the top-left key runs a custom key code where, if you tap it, it sends the assigned code for that layer but if you hold it, it'll cycle to the next layer up
BOM:
Here should be everything you need to make this hackpad
- 16x Cherry MX Switches
- 16x DSA Keycaps
- 6x M3x5x4 Heatset inserts
- 6x M3x16mm SHCS Bolts
- 16x 1N4148 DO-35 Diodes.
- 20x WS2812B LEDs
- 1x 0.91" 128x32 OLED Display
- 1x XIAO RP2040
- 1x Case (3 printed parts)

Questions
How big is the Duskpad PCB?
It measures 82.5 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Duskpad use?
54 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 Duskpad KiCad files?
From the darkdragon9000/Duskpad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Duskpad.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/Duskpad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Duskpad design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask darkdragon9000 before reusing the design.
