README
README.mdMacroPad
My MarcoPad is a 3x3 key, with a rotary encoder, and an OLED Display. It uses QMK firmware
Features:
- 3d printed case
- 128x32 OLED Display
- EC11 Rotary encoder for whatever you want
- 9 Keys
CAD Model:
Everything fits together using 4 M3 Bolts and heatset inserts. To keep the case and PCB together.
It has 2 separate printed pieces. One as the base acting as the bottum and sides and the other as a top.
Made in Fusion.

Firmware Overview
This hackpad uses QMK firmware for everything.
- the rotary encoder changes volume. press to mute
- The 9 keys currently act as media controls most un-assigned
- The rotary encoder does Volume and mute
- The OLED shows current layer name right now either Media or Macros
I might add more in the future! That's it for now
BOM:
- 9x Cherry MX Switches
- 9x DSA Keycaps
- 4x M3x5x4 Heatset inserts
- 4x M3x16mm SHCS Bolts
- 9x 1N4148 DO-35 Diodes.
- 1x 0.91" 128x32 OLED Display
- 1x EC11 Rotary Encoder
- 1x XIAO RP2040
- 1x Case (2 3d printed parts)
- 1x PCB
- 1x soldering iron and solder

Questions
How big is the MacroPad pcb PCB?
It measures 59.5 × 73 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the MacroPad pcb use?
25 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 pcb KiCad files?
From the Sythe3911/MacroPad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/MacroPad pcb.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the MacroPad pcb design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Sythe3911 before reusing the design.
