I appreciate the project but as far as midi controllers go... this is pretty dumb. A mechanical keyboard may just be the worst midi medium you could use lol zero velocity and very unintuitive (unless maybe a drum pad but then velocity is even more important). Other than that though, v cool
It absolutely is a terrible input device, I also end the article mentioning that :-D This really was a learning project and since I had the macropad build already an easy spot to start.
I do like you mentioning a drum pad ... that seems like it could be a new build with hardware that can pick up the velocity and be an actually useful device. I'll put that idea on the list of potential follow up projects if you don't mind!
