A project to create a custom macropad based on the Raspberry Pi Pico, including custom hardware and software design.
- Raspberry Pi Pico Eagle CAD library - codemicro/pico-eagle
- Cherry MX keyswitche Eagle CAD library - c0z3n/cherrymx-eagle

Functionally perfect, ideal LED position would be below the Pi Pico and not alongside it, however.
- Option for a small OLED I2C OLED display (like this 0.96" one)
- Hotswap keyswitch sockets
- Multiple PCB layers, so the Pico or other microcontroller can be sandwiched inbetween
- Perhaps a different microcontroller, like the Pro Micro?
- The Pico is more affordable than a genuine Pro Micro but this thing does look super cool
- Pico SMD support using castellations instead of header pins
- Maybe options for both on the same board?
- More/RGB LEDs
- Silkscreen had leftover component labels that I thought I'd properly removed (D2, D3)
