Macro, media and nonstandard keys
« on: Mon, 20 October 2014, 11:23:33 »
Hypothetically, is it possible to add programmable macro keys to custom built mech? Would it also be possible with a teensy and open source driver? If so, is there a basic software for programming them?

Secondly, regarding key size, I have an idea for an unusual layout in which the arrow keys and extras like media keys are compacted to take up less room. Are there any alternative switches & keycaps that could achieve this in a hand-wired board of mainly cherry MX switches?

Thanks for your time!

1) Yes
2) Yes
3) TMK is the first firmware that comes to mind
4) MX doesn't really have any alternative sizes. You could do it with Alps though.
