This project is a hackpad featuring WASD keys and an additional programmable button. I made it primarily to improve my CAD and PCB design skills while creating a functional custom macropad. This keyboard works using Circuit Python on the rp2040 microcontroller. This hackpad allows me to have a extra set of keys while gaming, as well as allows me to use custom macros.
