Built the thingy
So, I started with the LEDs, but I soldered it wrong and something bridged
(I know, my SMD soldering sucks)

I removed what I thought was faulty, still didnt work.
So I built a macropad without the LEDs.

This is how it looks now.
Pretty cool, right?

Shipment delivery
I recieved my PCB!

Also had received my 3d printed case a while ago, but forgot to log it lol

Just added the 0.2 hours (12 minutes) it took me to open it. (why do they vaccum pack the PCBs like that :hs:)

Hey! Great work on your hackpad , but could you please re-check the schematics , you have used a +5V symbol for LEDs but haven't connected it to xiao! Also don't forget to route it correctly after fixing the schematics. Thanks
