About the Blenderpad PCB

Blenderpad is an open source PCB design by agoliagalo, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 123.9 × 133.7 mm, with 37 components from 3 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the Nice_Nano_V2. By type, the board carries 18 switches, 18 diodes and 1 IC.

It belongs with the keyboards designs in this gallery.

From the project

A small, 18-key wireless-capable macropad built around the shortcuts I actually use in Blender, with a toggleable numpad layer for viewport navigation.

But the keyboard itself is only half of this project. The real idea is that your Blender workflow is not mine. Everyone uses different tools, different shortcuts, different hands. So this repository gives you the whole path, from measuring your habits to holding your keyboard:

Blenderpad: common questions

How big is the Blenderpad PCB?

The Blenderpad measures 123.9 × 133.7 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Blenderpad?

37 components, from 3 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Blenderpad design files?

From the agoliagalo/blenderpad repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Blenderpad design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with agoliagalo. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
