The LoveBoard is a 4-key macro pad with an OLED display. I made it to easily access shortcuts I use frequently (copy, paste, cut, delete).
I created the macropad with only 4 keys just because I'm a beginner at PCB design (if I were a bit more experienced, I would've designed the PCB with more keys lol; it was a struggle just to add 4 :cry:), but I'm happy with how it turned out so far!

The case was designed in AutoDesk! Deeper learning curve compared to Onshape (what I'm used to).

Questions
How big is the Hackpad PCB?
It measures 123.3 × 96.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Hackpad use?
6 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 Hackpad KiCad files?
From the savagerunderscorelex/loveBoard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/hackpad.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/hackpad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Hackpad design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
