Macronark, a HXH inspired macropad

A macropad inspired by Shalnark's ability in a popular manga called Hunter X Hunter by Yoshihiro Togashi

The "Macronark" is a 12 key macropad with RGB backlit keys. It uses QMK firmware and is upgradable with a 6-pin JST port on the back of the PCB.

Features:

• Full PLA Shalnark inspired case
• 12 blank DSA keys
• 12 SK6812 MINI-E LEDs for backlighting

CAD Model:

Everything is fitted together with 6 M3 bolts and heatset inserts. The PCB sits in flush with the case but there is 1 M3 screw hole if you'd like to secure it to your own case.

It's in 2 parts, 1 part for the body and another for the cover. Made in Onshape At a later time a seperate PCB will be used to fill the top portion of the case. More RGB LEDs will be used to light up the eye cutouts and a OLED screen will go inside the mouth just as the series depicts it.

PCB:

The PCB was made in KiCAD, The silkscreen was imported from a Figma image.
