Sheet 02 of 06/The button board
The one part I actually finished is the button board
It's a small direction pad with a rounded top edge, five switches wired straight to their own pins instead of a scan matrix, ready to send out as gerbers.

The shell got redrawn at least once
I drew the shell in SolidWorks, redid the front piece at least once, and made a separate part just for the battery holders.
Sheet 04 of 06/Where it stopped
It stopped at gerbers, not hardware
It stopped there in June 2022: gerbers and CAD files, no firmware, and the repository hasn't been touched since.
