Inspiration
I wanted a macropad for funsies and "barrowing" other peoples code. I was thinking about makeing a micropad with just Tab. Since with vibe coding, thats all you need these days Now i have Ctrl, C, V, Tab, "open cursor" for buttons
Challenges
This was my second time using Fusion 360! The first time i wanted to experiment on my own but it was a compete failure, so this was great to actualy learn to use the program. I'm very proud of the result.

Questions
How big is the We Borrow Code PCB?
It measures 95.6 × 22.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the We Borrow Code use?
6 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 We Borrow Code KiCad files?
From the Nickdev8/We-Borrow-Code repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/v3.kicad_pcb and its schematic MAINKICADFOLDER/v3.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the We Borrow Code design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Nickdev8 before reusing the design.
