Keycaps Labels

Affinity and svg files used to design the labels. These were imported into FreeCAD.

PCB

KiCad project files used to design the printed circuit board (PCB). The actual manufacturing files (gerber and drill files) are not included, but can be exported from KiCad. Those are then sent to a PCB manufacturer which will make the board.

Also includes the MacroPad files — a test project to figure out some things with a small PCB before ordering the large DeskFighter PCB.
