The pad will feature a hotswap PCB, brass/copper weight, magnets and a Cerakote finish.

Color Considerations
Planning to run 3-4 colors, definitive colors will follow from
IC form response.

USB cutout. 
Sandblasted + Cerakote weight and plate. 
Magnets in action. 
Bottom view with magnets, will be cerakoted together with the pad in the future. Brass coating slightly darker, considering priming it gray for a better match. Also will inset the feet a bit deeper. 
Backyard patina. 
Weight screws in from the bottom side and provides entrance for the plate and PCB, feet cover the screws. The feet will be vacuumcast silicone, ordered some black and grey prototypes, will colormatch them to the colors for the GB units. What’s inside? - Case
- Hotswap PCB
- Plate
- Brass or copper weight
- Hardware + spares
About me Heyhey, my name is Matthijs, and I’m a Biopharmacy student from Rotterdam, the Netherlands! You might also know me as Smoll(chungus). I’ve been doing PCB design, along with 3D CAD and some rendering for almost 2 years now!
Done a few commissioned boards and very small private runs (
gallery on my website for reference), however I’m hoping to run this macropad as my first proper Groupbuy!
Smoll shoutout to everyone who helped me during the project and the past year in general, it means a lot.
