Product Description

Key Features

Includes a rotary encoder, adding a versatile input method for volume control, scrolling, or other functions.
Supports 9 keys with Kailh Choc sockets, allowing hot-swappable switches for easy customization.
Comes as a kit with PCB, acrylic bottom plate, and necessary hardware, enabling a tailored build experience.
Requires an external XIAO microcontroller, which attaches directly to the PCB for compact wiring.

Build Quality

The case uses an acrylic bottom plate, which provides basic protection and a lightweight structure but offers less durability and premium feel compared to metal or thicker plastic cases. The included standoffs and screws support stable assembly. Rubber feet help reduce movement during use.

Compatibility and Customization

The macropad is compatible with Kailh Choc switches, a low-profile option favored for slim builds. Firmware and keymapping depend on the user-supplied microcontroller, offering flexibility but requiring technical knowledge to configure. This setup suits users comfortable with DIY programming and hardware integration.

Trade-offs

Requires additional parts not included, such as switches, keycaps, and the microcontroller, increasing setup complexity.
Acrylic case limits durability and may be prone to scratches or cracks compared to metal alternatives.
Not plug-and-play; assembly and firmware configuration are necessary, which may deter beginners.
