have you checked out the hackaday "build a PCB in anything" series? it walks you through making a PCB from nothing in each of the main applications. The hardest bit for you will be making the landing pads so start with one of the previously made files and edit that. (I'm not sure if any of the sudomod members have made their project files available, but if you use your google fu, there is a kitch bent DMG common ground board eagle file out there that you should be able to edit into a 6 button panel... (I'm 90% certain this was the starting point for at least some of the control panels on here...)

Ahhh I just put 2 and 2 together (aaaaaages ago like when I first started this project ummmm 2015) and just assumed it was one and the same. obviously I came up with 3 and my memory is pretty shot now

since the kitch bent common ground DMG (2 button) panel was made available about the same time (the product page actually links to the schematic files here:
http://gbdev.gg8.se/files/schematics/DMG-Rolf/ .) before this forum took off, it was going to be the basis for my board that I'm going to make (complete with original DMGAMP, and 23017's plus whatever else I come up with to include probably safe shutdown and routing for either DPI or SPI screens if i can get the performance out of it. then @wermy made his and suddenly *everyone's making them

Also those files are in eagle and my weapon of choice is KiCad. I tried to convert them but the conversion tool was incomprehensively garbage. So I'm just going to roll my own.
*ok not literally everyone but you know what I mean
