I have been working on a custom macro pad, which is based on the HackPad. I had an idea of making it usable with external apps through APIs and other integrations.

I completed the PCB quite a while ago. I have put about 14 hours of total work into this, although I have only logged close to 10 hours. The other four hours were unlogged because I was working on a different laptop, but that is fine since it is only a few hours.

The device itself is a macro pad with:

1. Six MK-style switches
2. One rotary encoder
3. An OLED screen

The PCB is quite impressive; I added some silkscreens to make it look aesthetically pleasing, which I hope will come across well in the finalized product. I designed the case in three parts:
(a) The base
(b) The plate
(c) The top part that encloses everything

The top part leaves space so that the screen can be viewed, making for a really nice, aesthetic-looking piece of hardware.

I have decided to call it Maestro because it fits the theme I have going for it. It is going to be something I use in my daily life to shorten my work time and streamline my workflows. I am pretty excited for the funding to go out so I can start working on this.
