its a mini keypad filled with AURA for the Hackpad mission on "Stardance Hackclub 2026"
what it has?
it has a 4 key layout with a custom shell, working on the Seeed Studio RP2040 , a rotary encoder with a switch, leds (flashin) and an oled with a bongo cat!!! meow
all keys can be modified with VIA (Google AI told me about it and it seems cool!!)
hardest part for me? x_x
the hardest part for me would be the time i had to design the case for it. it took me more than 10 hours doing it!
so is it cool?

Questions
How big is the AuraPad PCB?
It measures 93.5 × 65.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the AuraPad use?
18 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 AuraPad KiCad files?
From the MrOstrichStudios/auraPad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/auraPad/auraPad.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/auraPad/auraPad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the AuraPad design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask MrOstrichStudios before reusing the design.
