This is my very first macropad (and hardware project!) made for Hackpad. I designed it to be optimised for my little desk, being long and narrow, and also having a pretty cool pcb :>

Currently, the firmware binds the keys to Ctrl Z, numpad 1,3,7 & mswhl up/down, designed to help me with creative software, Blender specifically.

Questions

How big is the Hackpadbludprint PCB?

It measures 38.7 × 97.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Hackpadbludprint use?

29 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 Hackpadbludprint KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Hackpadbludprint design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
