Macro pad suggestions
Macro pad suggestions
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.
I did exacltly that and made the 12-switch version of this for my daughter. As you note, a full size Pi Pico should have the 24 GPIO pins you need to avoid diodes.
For myself, I did a laser-cut numpad to use with the hand wired TKL-like I tend to use on my main PC. Then there are the others. I, uhh, may have a problem.
