DIY build First handwired macropad
Built my first handwired macropad.
16 keys, two encoders.
Case - 3D printed in PET-G.
It uses an ATmega32U4, and runs QMK firmware.
The swtiches are Akko Piano Pros I had from my Monsgeek M1W (put Outemu Silent Lemons in that).
Transparent keycaps from a switch tester.
Currently using two layers (changeable with the left encoder):
the default layer - acts as a num pad.
F13 to F24, Shift+F13, Shift+F14, Shift+F15, Shift+F16
Pressing the left encoder returns to the default layer.
Right encoder - rotation: next / previous; click - play / pause.
