Its easy to make if you have a broken full size mech keyboard.
just cut of what you don't need. and de-solder the switches from the pcb then solder wires to said switches

It won't look much prettier than this, as I mostly repurposed a broken mechs plate. [sharkoon skiller skg1]. sadly it was not flat otherwise I could have made it look better

Personally I would go for Extended Numpad.
​
In place of the LED's I am planning on using a OLED. for key info/macro info.

True. I recently bought a mechanical keyboard 2nd hand for 6euro [it has some cheapo clickies]
but for projects/making a macropad its quite the steal.
Especially as the keycaps itself are worth as much as I paid for it

Small tip for your site.
Do not use White on white Text. like in the privacy policy.
This makes you liable as the policy can be considered NULL/VOID.
​
Also I do not see anything regarding warranty.

Reply to comment by Ardakilic in Steam Deck Trackpad as QMK Input Device, has anyone tried? by Ardakilic
If i am not mistaken QMK does not support trackpads. they do support digitizers.
​
If you can get one that is at most 3x3CM then it might work

What is the amount of keys you are looking for? 16?. 24? more? less?
​
Also: Do you have soldering skills?

If you mean those tablet style keyboards: NO, this is not possible {YET}
​
One of the thinnest keyboards out there:
​
It might be down into the future, once copycat switches of that ultra-low profile mech switch come out, and somebody designs a PCB for it. then you might have a keyboard that is slightly thicker than your tablet

even that 5$ 104 keycap set from aliexpress, would be a better value over any NFT keycap that takes years to arrive

MACRO'S, tapdance, etc
I would suggest you to do it with 3+ rp2040's each with the max amount of macro's [so each macrokey can have 4 macro's tied to it, trough tapdance]
​
1: the 60% main
2 the left and top clusters [can also be done with 2 RP2040's]
3 the remaining keys

are you gonna add QMK support to it making remapping easier?

OR....OR.... just hear me out:
​
Live in a country with proper consumer protection, where if something breaks within the legally defined warranty period. they have to repair it/send you a replacement part. [and warranty laws do not look at the type of "commercial" sale, if you buy it in a store, even if its discounted by 99.999% and it breaks 1 week later, they have to give repair it/give you a replacement unit]

If that is the case, then it might be something with the PCB that causes the issue.
​
If you are still under warranty, contact the manufacturer

Maybe try a different switch? see what effect that has.
​
it should give you a idea if it is the switch or the PCB
darknessblades t1_itqzgnn wrote
Which firmware does it use?
​
QMK? maybe try a VIA/VIAL version of said firmware, and see if you can add a slight delay to said key.
​
also try swapping it for a different key, it could be that the switch bounces in the housing [loose stem] causing a double input

Not sure, [The layout as I designed it is still quite basic to get a feel for it] [could change the hinge mechanic] but it will be either Filament and some m3 bolts, or a TRRS connector
{aliexpress}
/item/1005002511925055.html?
[Which will be the way the thumbcluster is connected]
So in essence the Thumb-cluster is a stand-alone unit [without arduino], that can be removed if not needed
--------
Not the best at programming with QMK,
So I could use some help on that front. {it will be hand-wired, so no RGB yet}
------
Already uploaded the VIA definitons file, so I am getting there step by step

I originally went for Extended Numpad. though those are fun as well
