I rock a 60% which I love, but I’m learning blender and coding, lack of numpad has gotten frustrating.
Anyone got any macro pad suggestions either available now or in GB/IC?
Preferably a hot swap! Open to different sizes and formats. Was tempted by the Piketea standing desk mounted macro pad, but they appear to be sold out.
Relatively easy to whip up yourself for little money if you have access to a 3D printer and a soldering iron. Get a RP2040 development board for $2, 9 switches and keycaps and hand solder them directly, you don’t even need to source diodes.
Like a standalone numpad?
Doesn’t have to be a standard numpad, I’m open to smaller designs where I can do additional macros.
I got nuthin so far. I have a numpad in my shopping cart waiting for an influx of money lol
Drop has a very nice 9 key macro pad called the Nin-doio. It’s a macro pad that’s made to closely mimic the GBA! It’s pricey but it’s really good build quality and very very cool.
Actually, I did just buy a 4 key with a knob off of Aliexpress. The switches and caps are shit, but I’ve got tons of options for those laying around, and it only cost like $4. I have to plug it into someone’s PC to program it though. You can’t program it on Mac.
