Who else is playing around with Raspberry Pi, ESP32, RP2040
there is also this I am making, but 9x9 keys

I’ve designed a DYI macro pad and created this schematic as visual aid for those who want to build it
Thanks for the tip! I'll check what it looks like from another angle. I've also tried different lighting and it might look a bit less crowded?.. and that's actually what I added to the project's page: https://github.com/dr-mod/pico-mpad but I like this lighting more and want to update the scene with this lighting I guess.

I’ve designed this 3d printable RPi Pico based macropad with customizable firmware to be more productive with my work and gaming
I’ve uploaded the tutorial, 3d models and code to GitHub: https://github.com/dr-mod/pico-mpad

KiCad plugin for mechanical keyboard design
You can see it in action in tests here (remember to expand rows too see results) or by some examples here

Let's Design a Keyboard with Ergogen v4: Introduction – FlatFootFox
I developed something similar (PCB only, no cases) as KiCad plugin: https://github.com/adamws/kicad-kbplacer - it uses layouts from keyboard-layout-editor.com as input.

Been working on this one for a while
Once you get the hang of that, you can try using a tool to automate the key positioning stuff. There's a tool that repositions your keys given a KLE json (https://github.com/adamws/kicad-kbplacer and I used to use one called "Keyboard Layouter"), and there's a tool to actually generate the skeleton project for you as well (https://github.com/jeroen94704/klepcbgen). Just make sure you have a hang of KiCAD, footprints, symbols, etc before you dive too deep.
