About the FixPad-Akshit PCB

FixPad-Akshit is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by 9Akshit1, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 50.6 × 70.4 mm, with 4 components from 2 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the XIAO-RP2040-DIP, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. By type, the board carries 3 switches and 1 IC.

It belongs with the keyboards designs in this gallery.

From the project

FixPad is a 3-key macropad designed to boost productivity and help you stay focused—whether you're studying, coding, or working. It features shortcut keys, website toggling, and even anti-sleep functionality to keep your computer awake when you are!

I often found myself repeating the same actions—editing my millions of typing mistakes, opening tools/applications/websites, or keeping my laptop from sleeping during long research sessions (espeically to keep my code running throughout the night!). Instead of reaching for a full keyboard shortcut every time, I wanted a compact, dedicated helper.…

FixPad-Akshit: common questions

What microcontroller does the FixPad-Akshit use?

The FixPad-Akshit is built around the XIAO-RP2040-DIP, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the FixPad-Akshit PCB?

The FixPad-Akshit measures 50.6 × 70.4 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the FixPad-Akshit?

4 components, from 2 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the FixPad-Akshit design files?

From the 9Akshit1/FixPad-Akshit repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the FixPad-Akshit design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which 9Akshit1 chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the FixPad-Akshit without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug RP2040/RP2350 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
