First handwired design/build
I designed this little desk-mounted macropad last week and finally got around to wiring it up yesterday. It was a fun little project but I’m not great at soldering so the wiring was a bit challenging. Really happy with how it turned out, though!
Specs:
- Raspberry Pi Pico MCU
- Gateron Oil Kings
- Drop Dasher

You're looking at a nude egg.

I didn't know those were available for purchase, incredible

A guy who runs a local print shop gave it to me when I was picking up some other stuff. I'm not sure if he ever ended up selling them but he does have some other ITYSL merch.

What will you be using just 4-9 for if you dont mind my asking? Just a fun project?

Right now 7, 8, and 9 are mute, volume down, volume up. 4 and 5 toggle my mic and webcam in Zoom, 6 needs to be mapped to something still, and Return definitely does not toggle a mouse jiggler.

Ah. So the keycaps aren't literal.

Nope, they just weren't being used and were the right rows to go with the ISO.

How does that not hurt your wrist??

Nah, I only use it for occasional things like toggling my mic and webcam in Zoom and adjusting volume. And then I have a macro that turns off my computer.

Very clean 👌 Bambu?
cloffwrangler@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Yep! P1P

Almost any modern printer can print that clean now. Bambu upped the game, but everyone caught up.
