From the project

This is a macropad developed to imitate a spaceship. It includes 6 keys and 2 rotary encoders. This is your macropad for all your speedy needs.

B2 BomboPad is a custom six-key macropad with two rotary encoders, designed and built from scratch.

Its angular PCB and enclosure are inspired by the silhouette of the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber. The design combines a functional macropad with an aircraft-inspired industrial aesthetic.

- 6 mechanical keys - 2 rotary encoders with push switches - Seeed Studio XIAO RP2040 microcontroller - 2 × 3 diode key matrix - Custom PCB designed in KiCad - Custom top and bottom enclosure designed in Onshape - QMK firmware - Gerber files included for PCB fabrication
