custom keypad for shortcut key and new shortcuts
I’ve been wanting a small, custom keypad for shortcuts while working—something compact, programmable, and fun to build. After looking through different microcontrollers, I decided on the XIAO RP2040 because of its tiny size and good support for CircuitPython .
Holding everything together, I felt excited—and a little nervous—because this is my first time building a keypad from scratch instead of using a kit.

Questions
How big is the Keypad PCB?
It measures 80 × 40 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Keypad use?
10 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 Keypad KiCad files?
From the jayadeep14/keyV1.0 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/keypad.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/keypad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Keypad design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask jayadeep14 before reusing the design.
