kropad

A custom 3x2 macropad with a knob/rotary encoder.

It was quite the challenge to design but I feel like I've learned alot from the process. The lack of instructions was frustrating at times but I pushed through. Hopefully I did everything right, cuz I would be very sad if something didn't fit, even with the tolerances. I wanted the rotary encoder for the fine single digit control over the volume. The case has some thick walls cuz I know I will drop it a couple of times and I'd prefer it stay together.

BOM:

  • 5x Cherry MX Switches
  • 5x Black DSA Keycaps
  • 1x EC11 Rotary encoder
  • 1x Knob for EC11 (I was told these were available)
  • 4x M3x16mm screws
  • 4x M3 hex nuts
  • 4x M3 Heatset
  • 1x Seeed Studio XIAO RP2040
  • 1x kropad PCB

Colors

Just in case you need it:
Base - Black
Plate - Red
Keycaps - Black
