This is my hackpad, which has a roller, an OLED display, and 9 keys, and of course, the Pi2040. The hackpad is like a control set, which serves a unique purpose for every key. In my case, the first key is opening YouTube, and so on. It acts like a keyboard but for fast and small functions.

Questions
How big is the Hackpad PCB?
It measures 78.6 × 82.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Hackpad use?
25 parts, built around the SK6812. 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 Hackpad KiCad files?
From the koreem-ahmed/hackpad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hack pad PCB/hack pad.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hack pad PCB/hack pad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Hackpad design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask koreem-ahmed before reusing the design.
