The macpad is a 9 key macropad/keyboard with 2 EC11 style rotary encoders.
- Sandwich style mount - 3D printable, BUT you need screws and heatset inserts
- EC11 Rotary encoders for rotational action AND they serve as switches/keys
- 9 fully programmable keys in a matrix
4 heatset inserts and 4 M3 screws are used to keep everything together
The model consists of a bottom case, a plate, and a bracket for the top, so the key switches themselves are less exposed.
There are also optional rotary encoder dials.
The PCB as well as the schematic is pictured below:
