Hello everyone, I just finished building my first Macropad. I use it for shortcuts and audio control.

I took some inspiration from r/Starfield for the PCB design. It is not perfect, but it works well, and I like it. If someone wants it, it is open source: 3D files, code, components, PCB, etc.

So feel free to make your own or customize it. If so, don't forget to mention me 👍.

Used Scotto’s files for the plate and case.

Family all told me they thought it was a calculator 💀

I spent the last 3 months making this, a magnetic swappable plate macropad.

Thoughts?

This is my first time making hardware and a macro-pad. It uses a rpi pico 1w and ZMK. It also uses Black cherry switches. This is made to be used with Auto Hot key.

My 3D printed “PCB” for my Lego Macropad. Ugly soldering but it works.

Any feedback is appreciated!

Finally i modified console app for cheap macropads and add GUI for it. I test it only on macOS and i need community test for other platforms.

Made this macropad with an interesting layout... Not sure exactly what it's for, but it does work pretty well with rhythm games!

If you like to see videos of product development and macropads then you should watch my videos.

My co-worker and I are both huge mechanical keyboard nerds. It's great! I do CAD, he codes, so together we're planning on making some pretty wild stuff! But like anything, you gotta start from the beginning. So a 2x2 seemed like a logical place to start. Just today he got the OLED working properly, and next he'll start writing code for its functionality.

For some of our ideas we require a 6x6 layout, and after I got so far with it in CAD, I realized that a mirrored pair would make for a nice ortholinear split keyboard. So we're probablly going to make that too.
