Done.

The PCB arrived from OSHPark, and it works. You can order it at: https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/J8a9MVbO

I’m not happy with the buttons – I used some cheap SMD buttons that I had on hand, but they are not really designed for being pushed directly by fingers. I might try gluing something on top of them, so they work better.

I used a chip socket for the chip, and the whole thing is rather high. In the future, I would probably use a different chip, in SMD version, and maybe even put it on the bottom.

All in all, it works well enough and I’m quite happy with it.
