A macro pad with 8 switches, one rotary encoder, one OLED display and of course some RGB. It uses QMK firmware.
CAD model
The full case and the pcb are connected by four M3x13mm screws and M3x5mx4mm heatset inserts, the inserts come under the Top_case and your screw the all macro pad by the bottom of the Bottom_case, like a sandwich with the pcb in the middle.

Possible improvement
Take switches which are Led SMD compatible (such as Gateron SMD Yellow), because Cherry MX Switches do not let pass so much light.

Questions
How big is the DragonMacroPad PCB?
It measures 90.5 × 65.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the DragonMacroPad use?
36 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 DragonMacroPad KiCad files?
From the reaue/DragonMacroPad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/DragonMacroPad.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/DragonMacroPad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the DragonMacroPad design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask reaue before reusing the design.
