I designed the PCB layout for my macropad “an average macropad”, it is my first ever pcb design!
I drew the schematic in about an hour which I have no recording of 🫪

Along the way I did make some decisions without full certainty. Like, have you ever seen someone wire rotary encoders in a matrix? now you have ! Other than that goofy wiring which imo should work, there is the backlight LED placement. I’ve just seen the LEDs being in a place which appears to be bellow the switches in images of mechanical keyboard PCBs, so I’m hoping my skillful placement of the LEDs won’t interfere with the switches ‘cause otherwise I’ll have no backlight which would be very sad :((

The next for me now is actually adding the holes in pcb so I can actually mount it to the case the design of which I wanted to call my next step, but oh, well…
