Nice little design with native QMK support

Boards were shipped immediately and arrived quick. They're high quality PCBs and the design is very clever, allowing for any mix of switches or rotary encoders.

The GitHub repo includes files for 3D printing a case. The newest design uses a faceplate but the corners are wicked thin and look fragile so I went with the older design that is all one piece and it worked great. One word of advice: if you want LED underglow, don't print in black filament or you won't be able to see it :-D

The LED strips I had on hand have a different pin order than the footprint on the board. This wasn't a major issue, it just meant using 1 cm long wires to sort them out.

This came out great and a is a fun little macro keyboard, thanks!

These are great!

I had so much fun building these. I added some RBG underglow with the ws2812b strips and made a custom case. I had to order even more because my coworkers now all want me to make them some to use as media controls or in Photoshop.

I would love to see some per-key rgb lighting in an update if there are plans for that sort of thing. Maybe with some SMDs and cutouts per key (instead of through hole single color leds). May not be possible with the

Great work!

5 stars - All good

Seller shipped quickly but I had some minor tracking issues with USPS, presumably due to the ongoing pandemic.
Arrived in less than 10 days, was able to quickly assemble and get the keypad working.
