My macropad is a 13 key macropad with a rotary encoder and per-key RGB. It uses QMK firmware
It serves as a macropad that I can use every day to be more productive.
Features:
- EC11 Rotary encoder for volume
- 13 keys, 12 for macros and 1 for swapping layers
- Per-key RGB
- VIA support
PCB:
My PCB was made using Kicad.
Schematic
PCB
I used Joe Scotto's footprints for most of my footprints.
CAD Model
Everything fits together perfectly using just 4 M3 Bolts and heat-set inserts.
It has 4 different pieces, Top Case, Bottom Case, Plate, and a Rotary Encoder Knob
This model was made using Shapr 3D.
Firmware
This macropad uses QMK firmware for its code.
- 13 keys; 12 for macros, 1 for layers
- Rotary encoder used to change volume
- Per-key LEDs

Questions
How big is the Pyae s Macropad2 PCB?
It measures 65 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Pyae s Macropad2 use?
42 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 Pyae s Macropad2 KiCad files?
From the Pyae2014K/Pyae-s-Macropad2 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Pyae's Macropad2.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/Pyae's Macropad2.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Pyae s Macropad2 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Pyae2014K before reusing the design.
