Mackerel Pad

First ever Marco pad! I just did a 3x3 grid using diodes to keep things somewhat simple, but complicated enough that I could learn how to use the row and col system. I have 2 LEDS for an underglow. I plan to paint the keycaps to look like different types of mackerel. Fishes + macropads = mackerelpad! The hardest part for me was trying to understand the firmware, but after enough tutorials I was able to create my own macros for keyboard shortcuts.

BOM:

  • 9x MX switches
  • 1x Seeed XIAO RP4020
  • 1x PCB (blue if possible)
  • 9x Through-hole 1N4148 Diodes
  • 2x SK6812 MINI LEDs
  • 9x DSA keycaps (prefer white if possible)
  • 4x M3x5Mx4m Heatset inserts
  • 4x M3X16mm screws
  • 1x 3D printed case (prefer base.stl in black & top.stl in white if possible)
