Hi @DevoidSloth,

nice hackpad! I just looked at your hackpad, and it looks mostly correct from what I'm seeing. However, there are a few changes that I'd suggest:

1. It seems like your rotary encoders have a DIN, but I don't see any DOUT pints(just one input pin but not the output)
2. you have an extra line on pin 9 of the schematic
3. it seems like you have an extra +5V pin in the VBUS that doesn't seem to lead anywhere
4. I'm not sure if you will see the 2 led lights well when covering them with the case

otherwise, it seems to be fine!
Here's my own approved PR link: #228

@nathantsai1

Thanks for the feedback!

I don't have a rotary encoder...

I fixed the other stuff but I left in the LED's... I can remove them but I think it would be cool if they were to illuminate the case... I have a mildly transparent filament I was thinking about testing the case with.

I am not sure about the VBUS 5V.... I am somewhat new to PCB design and tried to do something similar to the tutorial shown here

Let me know if anything else needs to be fixed and thanks again!

@DevoidSloth Nice, just add a readme containing your BOM(like 2xleds, 4xCherry mx switches, etc.). Also it seems like your pin 14 of the schematic leads to nowhere(the pink item, could you check that the routing works? The pink highlighter should highlight the 5v pin too)

@nathantsai1 Does that look better now?

I appreciate all the help lol

[nathantsai1]

No problem! I don't think you need the kmk software in the BOM(the items you need delivered), also add a picture of the pcb board itself in the editor, and the case.

I approve of this submission! Here's my own approved PR link: #228
