A hackpad to help me with my gaming

Ship #1 Pending review

@Jackelliemolly on Hackpad-gaming · about 2 months ago

I have made a hackpad with a 3x3 key matrix, LEDs, an OLED display, and a rotary encoder. I have made it so that it can help me play my games easier by macros for my games on it. It has 2 key layers, which allows me to have more options for macros to use. I have had some challenges such as learning KiCad and Fusion, as well as losing my PCB to a crash, but i am happy with my final design.

I have now created the model for my case. It clamps the CPB into place and is screwed together

I have designed the schematic for my hackpad. It contains a 3x3 key matrix, an OLED screen and a rotary encoder.
