I'm making a Hackpad for Flight Simulator! I've always wanted one, so might as well create one :)

Worked on and finished the bottom part of my case! I just need to do the top now, which is a bit harder so I decided to get a 3D model of the board so i can make my case around it.
I was also fiddling around with inserting 3D models. The models were hard to fit perfectly, so it took a while.
I originally tried adding them in fusion, but then realised halfway through it would’ve been too hard inserting the other components as well.
1st image - kicad, 2nd image - where i switched from fusion to kicad, 3rd image - completed bottom case

Finished working on my schematic and PCB!!!
I had to use a pin expander because even if I used the matrix method, I would’ve been one pin short :/.
Anyways thanks for reading!!

Wired stuff. Had to rewire everything like 2 different times because i messed up and missunderstood how schematics work. Now I should be good. I’m one pin short, so I also researched ways I can fix it. I’m working on that now.

Started working on my hackpad. Just did the basic bit of the tutorial.
Issue I faced (not apart of total time): I accidentally deleted a symbol library at the start which took about 3 hours for me to find out what I did wrong 😭 .
