Hey! Your PCB routing looks nice! Please make sure you include the PCB in your CAD assembly (and CAD screenshot). Refer to the submission guidelines to make sure you have all the required components. Ping me in #blueprint if you have any questions :)

Hey! There is a few changes that needs to be made , I see that you have updated the footprint for the LEDs and have a cut out , but still few of the routing go through the cut outs, could you please fix that! Also go through submission guidelines , you need to have all the PCB files , and an assembled model of the hackpad with PCB and if possible the other components too!

Hey! Good looking hackpad! Make sure that you include a cutout for the LEDs mounted under the switches. Also make sure your PCB files have their own folder. Your PCB routing looks nice :)

This looks great but right now it is really similar to the guide. Could you try adding something to make it a bit more unique? (an OLED, encoders, etc.)

One issue I see is that you are currently using the SK6812MINI symbol which is not compatible with the SK6812MINI-E LEDs that are included in the kit. The proper way to fix this is to use the correct symbol and footprint which you can get from here. The other way is to use the SK6812 symbol with the SK6812MINI footprint. This will work as it has the correct pin locations but it might be a bit hard to solder because the footprint is a bit different from what is intended.
