The rotary encoder, when spun to fast would almost always do vol down instead of vol up. It now will always do the correct vol.

My threaded inserts and screws arrived today! The final assembly is complete! Now I just need to do some bug fixing. (I was going to upload an image but it would not let me)

I Finished assigning all of the keys to a gpio in the code

Wiring is complete, every button is connected to a gpio and the oled and rotary encoder is connected as well. I regret not using a pcb.

I Simplified the process of customizing the keys by making variables for each key and each letter and assigned them to the respective key and display function

The OLED screen now displays what keys were last pressed, this also marks the completion of the prototype board!

Button input is working! Pressing a button now triggers the corresponding keyboard or media control via HID in circuitpython.

Finished Designing Custom Size Keycaps that fit the Pico Pad without blocking the view, but it does take a lot of force to put into the switch
