(Only the top)
Everything fits together with 4 m3 screws and bolts. * The original design did not include a top, but i added it after it was requested. ** Enlargened to top for the oled
Firmware
I wrote the firmware using kmk, you can see it inside the repo.
Still have to add the OLED firmware, but have exams next week and wont otherwise have enough time to change any hardware requirements.
Notes
Making the pad was fun!The original design did not include a top, but i added it after it was requested.

Questions
How big is the Macropad PCB?
It measures 61.8 × 61.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Macropad use?
12 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 Macropad KiCad files?
From the MatsDevOfficial/Hackpad 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 states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask MatsDevOfficial before reusing the design.
