heya! this is DorpPad, (or NikoKaltryxPad). It is a 6 button macropad with a rotate encoder meant for games or productivity!
Features!!
- 6 customizable buttons for max productivity!
- a beautiful rotary encoder for volume control or whatever you wish :D
- pretty bulky (i will probably redesign this baha) case with 2 led's
i also wanted to leave a hole for the led's to shine through but i decided i can probably cut out the case and put thin blured out plastic to make it look like pixels but i wasn't so sure about it so i didn't do it in this version..
the code is very incomplete and mostly chatgpt since i plan on redoing it when i get the parts to make this 🥹

Front cover so it looks beautiful!
And finally the whole case put together! (insert drumroll sound!!)

Questions
How big is the Dorppad PCB?
It measures 97.6 × 38.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Dorppad use?
10 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 Dorppad KiCad files?
From the TheDerpyMit/dorppad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/dorpPAD.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/dorpPAD.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Dorppad design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask TheDerpyMit before reusing the design.
