Overview
Makropad v1 is an open-source printed circuit board by phyroxyn, from the phyroxyn/focuspad repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 83.3 × 81 mm with 29 parts on 31 nets, routed with 96 tracks and 0 vias.
Its parts include 14 switches, 13 diodes and 1 IC. It belongs with the keyboards and input boards and the RP2040 boards of this library.
README
README.mdfocuspad_v2
A compact 4×4 macropad for Windows productivity workflows (Fusion 360, Bambu Studio, Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop, DaVinci Resolve). It features two knobs: the left knob is a push-button only (purely for aesthetics), while the right knob is a real rotary encoder for volume control.

PCB Layout
Case
The enclosure is designed as five parts:
- Top cover (protects the PCB; acrylic would look great).
- Base (with heat-set insert holes to mount the PCB and top cover).
- Side cover (hides the PCB ; would look great in milled aluminum).
- Sub-base / stand (tilts the macropad at an ergonomic angle).
- Connector (connects the base with the stand).
Firmware
Firmware is written in QMK.
- Left knob: push-button only → Mute/Unmute.
- Right knob: rotary encoder → Volume Up/Down.
- The 12 keys are mapped to common Windows shortcuts.

Questions
How big is the Makropad v1 PCB?
It measures 83.3 × 81 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Makropad v1 use?
29 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 Makropad v1 KiCad files?
From the phyroxyn/focuspad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Makropad_v1.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/Makropad_v1.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Makropad v1 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask phyroxyn before reusing the design.
