For the Emerald Makerspace Club, this is a small 9 switch + 1 rotary encoder macropad meant help students learn the basics of PCB design and mechanical keyboards.
Components/Parts
- 1 RP2040 Pro Micro
- 9 Kalih hotswap sockets
- 9 MX switches
- 9 Cherry Keycaps
- 10 tht DO-35 diodes
- 1 Rotary Encoder These components were chosen to minimize cost, keep the macropad relatively basic, and to make it easy to solder.
Firmware
The firmware is made with QMK.

Questions
How big is the Macropad PCB?
It measures 88.3 × 62.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Macropad use?
22 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 Macropad KiCad files?
From the ro-devnani/3-by-3-macropad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is macropad.kicad_pcb and its schematic macropad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Macropad design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ro-devnani before reusing the design.
