First handwired design/build

I designed this little desk-mounted macropad last week and finally got around to wiring it up yesterday. It was a fun little project but I’m not great at soldering so the wiring was a bit challenging. Really happy with how it turned out, though!

Specs:

  • Raspberry Pi Pico MCU
  • Gateron Oil Kings
  • Drop Dasher

Almost any modern printer can print that clean now. Bambu upped the game, but everyone caught up.
