This is a model of the casing I made in Autodesk Fusion, I have not got the hardware yet so I cannot upload a picture of that.
Here is a screenshot of my schematic, I made it using KiCad.

Questions
How big is the Hackpad PCB?
It measures 64 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Hackpad use?
41 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 Hackpad KiCad files?
From the Nauticos/Daedapad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/hackpad.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/hackpad.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 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).
