Custom Macropad

Created this custom macropad to allow me to assign certain tasks to a hotkey.

The case and keycaps are designed to fit gateron low profile keyboard switches and is made to come apart in halves to replace all components. (uses three 3mm bolts/nuts)

This was designed to run using the USB C version of the Arduino Pro Micro running a copy of the code created here: https://www.partsnotincluded.com/diy-stream-deck-mini-macro-keyboard/ (thank you Dave)

I decided on soldering 7 of the 8 switches to the arduino pins assigned to F13-F19 and wired the top most switch directly thru the back of my PC to the motherboard as an external PC power button. I also designed this power button to be protected with a flip cover when not in use. If you'd rather wire all 8 switches as extra Fkeys, this case works without the cover as well.

I created some custom keycaps to match my purposes, but I've also included standard Fkeys and Blank keys in the model if you need them.

All of my designs are
