README.mdAniDeck
AniDeck is a custom 5-key macropad featuring a rotary encoder and a 0.91" OLED display, designed specifically for an anime-focused workflow (optimized for the Anikoto platform). It runs KMK firmware on a Seeed Studio XIAO RP2040.
Features
- 5-key macro layout with custom shortcuts (Anikoto launcher, resume, play/pause, like, and audio toggle)
- Rotary Encoder for system volume control and mute
- Seeed Studio XIAO RP2040 microcontroller
CAD Model
The enclosure is a sandwich I designed it in Fusion360, consisting of 2 printed parts:
- Bottom case
- Switch plate
PCB & Schematic
They both r designed in KiCAD.

Firmware Overview
- Framework: KMK firmware running on CircuitPython.
- Keymap: Custom macros and media controls tailored for anime streaming
- Display: Static text rendering via Adafruit Displayio libraries
BOM (Bill of Materials)
Everything needed to build the AniDeck:
- 5× Mechanical switches
- 5× Keycaps
- 1× EC11 Rotary Encoder with push-button
- 1× 0.91" 128×32 OLED display
- 1× Seeed Studio XIAO RP2040
- 1× printed case (Bottom case, Switch plate)
- M3 bolts and heat-set inserts
AI usage
- As search engin: Used to find sources to download different .step files for PCB.
- Helped in KMK: It helped me to write KMK firmware for my custom buttons.
- NOTE: didn't use it to create auto case not fully dependable on AI.

Questions
How big is the AniDeck PCB?
It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the AniDeck use?
17 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 AniDeck KiCad files?
From the unknownmaloo/AniDeck repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/anideck.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/anideck.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the AniDeck design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask unknownmaloo before reusing the design.
