Coding!
I have just started to flash all the code and I thought it would be easy. NO NO NO NO. I HATE CODING. It has been a journey and a long one.
I started by flashing circuit python on to the MCU. This was easy. I also watched 3 videos on how to do this. Phun.
This was then followed by me getting on a call with my friend. (Neorazer is his Github) and pestering him about how to code the acctual thing. Then i decided to delete all the files on teh xiao.
I then had to Nuke it. I HATE CODING

SOLDERING
I soldered my components on to my PCB Which was very easy. It took me around 30 minutes to solder it all on. The joints were looking surprisingly good now that it was all finished especially with my sketch soldering.

Redesigned the case
So while I was putting magnets in the case I realized that the case's clearances were to large. I tightened the clearances and made it .05mm instead of .1 mm this should allow for a better press fit magnet. I had to refer my other macropad case which was really good in terms of clearance. I also added a logo which was the brunt of my time.
