Overview

A compact macropad built around a custom PCB, with through-hole diodes, 0805/0603 passives, MX switch mounts, and a printed case fastened with button-head hex screws.

Design notes

  • Full ECAD/MCAD integration: the PCB model carries real silkscreen, copper, and soldermask layers
  • DSA keycaps keep the profile uniform so the board works in any orientation
