I’m building a hack-pad called Hek-pad. It can do stuff like shortcuts, control volume and brightness, take screenshots etc.

i got a lot of work done today, I’m getting more familiar with fusion 360. I have to fix the angle it slopes at. Its currently too low it will probably get cut off by the slider other ways.

I think I’m finally done with the PCB, I know I said it before but the board exceeded the max board size. i had to rearrange it and also added some random silkscreen art. I have a few parts that StarDance does not provide. :-)

started schematics I’m thinking of adding a diode in the key matrix layout so that there is no ghosting in the hek-pad. I wont be able to do much because of my exams. I will get back on as soon as the exams are over.
