On 6 of december, I started designing the macropad, with the intent of making a 4 keys keyboard for ddr like games. after some thought I decided to add a enter and dfjk keys.ys.

I am absolutly new to circuit design and 3d modeling and even though the process was really straight forward thanks to the tutorial.l.
Using fusion 360 gave me some headaches for sure.
designing the top model of the case took me 2 days 😭 it is finally dine and helped me a lot to understand more what I wanted and notice desing flaws on the pcb.b.
-
I would like to setup the current "enter" key to be a "change" or "mode" key to change betweent layouts (getting dfjk to be arrows for example).).
-
Getting the Display to show more stuff. the original idea was to have the display to show the keys being pressed for aesthethics but also i've been thinking about makingit capable of showing information from api's. (like media playing, weather, gif's, etc.)etc.)
-
I will be updating the repo if any problems are found with either the design or the code used, also images from the product ensambled :3.
