Speedrunpad!
My personal hack pad! I plan on adding some rarely used keys that I can set as hotkeys for changing FOV and entity distance when speedrunning Minecraft! I also plan to add a slider that can control one of your settings.

Soldered!
Took longer than I would like to admit but it's finally all soldered!
Very luckily I sent a message into #hackpad to ask about any specific tips for soldering (I had never soldered SMD before and thought it might be a good idea.) I got a heap of help from multiple people. The biggest tip I got though was ensuring I put the keys in the top part of the case before I soldered them.
I started soldering and it all went relatively well apart from melting some of the plastic on the Neopixels (By some I mean like all of it, oml it sucks) and soldered in the hot-swap keys (I'm never actually going to swap them out so may as well.)
I finish soldering and I flash the firmware (with a little help from AI to make sure I have all the comas in the right places) and turn it on. The keys work, the rotary encoder works but the LED's don't do anything! Looking through the QMK docs I find nothing that helps. Searching through old Reddit threads brings the same results. Going to my last resorts I put my full firmware into an AI and it confirms that the LED's should of worked but they just wouldn't turn on.
I come to two conclusions either I soldered them extremely badly or - as many others have stated, the footprint provided in the guide was wrong. Wanting to fix this I decided to act on the first option by re-soldering all of them as well as I could. After getting almost perfect (in my opinion) soldering to them, I go to turn it on and they still don't work.
So this is where I am now, with a mostly working Hackpad.
I hope to fix the LED's one day but I fret this is caused by the PCB and not something I can easily change.

Hey! Very cool hackpad , it has everything just needs a few more changes before being done! Please re check the schematics of the case , right now your Encoder Pins are connected to already used pins in xiao , could you please fix that! Do ping me in #blueprint-drafts before submitting again to verify the schematics , and include the assembled model in STEP format! Thanks

Hey! Good looking hackpad! A few things before we can accept it, your README is lacking some of the required content. Please make sure to include a screenshot of your schematic and a BOM. Refer to the submission guidelines to make sure you have all the required content in your README. You can ping me in #blueprint if you have any questions, I am happy to help :)
