Hi @Hitcoinfur,

Nice submission! Just a few things...

• Even if it doesn't trigger DRC, I'd move the B.Cu layer around the rp2040 pins
• It seems like you took one side of each key switch and added them to the gnd line. With 6 key switches, I think it would be best to create a matrix(as shown here), to get the output of the switches in the limited number of pins
• the pcb seems to be right above the case bottom. I'd change it so that it is off the ground, to give space for a better-sounding macropad and to make sure the pcb fits (it should be 5mm from the top of the plate to the top of the pcb, and 2.9mm from the bottom of the pcb to the top of the bottom floor of the case.
• from the angle of your picture, it seems like your case's screw holes do not line up. If this is the case, please line it up, otherwise your bolts will not fit
  Otherwise, it looks fine!
