Schematic
- Features a matrix to save pins and diodes to prevent ghosting.
PCB
- Features 2 vias and flipped diodes so that they attach under the PCB.
Case Components
Top Shell:
- 4 through holes to secure to bottom shell. Underside features 4 insert pockets for heat set inserts to secure PCB.
Bottom Shell:
- 4 insert pockets and a cutout for USB cable.
The shells are attached with the top over the bottom. The shells are secured with 4 M3x16mm screws through heat set inserts on the bottom shell.

Questions
How big is the Macropad PCB?
It measures 95.5 × 79.5 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 lucaschi2026-code/ninjapad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Macropad.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/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 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).
