Having purchased the original Type-9, it was an awesome little macropad with amazing quality, and I feel somewhat underrated in the community.

Great to see most of the suggestions from the community implemented into Series II.

For the polished Stainless Steel versions, what are the steel grade you'll be specifying? And is there any coating on the chrome version?

uood5 · « **Reply #11 on:** Wed, 29 May 2019, 12:40:05 »

Would rotary encoder support be an option? Would love a BDN9 with an alu case, and that would fit the bill just right

Thanks for the support Windeh, i am glad you liked the original version

. It was a very limited run
Concerning stainless steel grade and coating, i am currently in discussion in this regard with the supplier, I will have the answer next week.

Hello to all,

I just recieved the PCB pre-production model.
and I am reviewing the cases prototypes from different suppliers
Same for the Packaging and assembly PCB.

Update : For the case it will most likely be PVD Finish Brass instead of Stainless Steel.
I will keep you updated for the definitive material choice

This is just what I've been looking for! In for at least one so long as the price is reasonable.

EDIT: Reread through and caught that the LEDs aren't RGB to save space - will we have the option to shut them off via QMK or etc?

Treasure · « **Reply #56 on:** Mon, 16 December 2019, 13:31:51 »

Yes the SMD Leds are white, and we have the option to control them via QMK.

Thanks for your support.

Lockdown has been lifted in France - I will update more frequently from now

I will show you the fully assembled Chrome mirror / Black mirror versions at the end of the week.

Sweet! I can't wait for more updates on the Type-9!

Is there any chance that this will be VIA compatible? And will there be any sort of bundle if we pick up 1 in every color

?

eyedrop · « **Reply #99 on:** Fri, 15 May 2020, 17:23:41 »

This is great. I have a Series I macropad and thinking I might pick this one when this is available.

I’d certainly buy one of these when they’re available for purchase. Made an account here to follow this thread.

Hello to all, Sorry for the late update !
I am ok, thank you for your patience
We are currently in the process of designing an entirely new website/store and it does take a little time.
This will be a complete overhaul of the existing site ( http://macropad.co ). The GB will be on the new website.
More details to come

Thanks

Eric

Was excited about this GB but probably not going to join with the lack of communication. It's the day before and we don't even have basic info like pricing.

LZRD · « **Reply #135 on:** Tue, 20 October 2020, 04:50:36 »

looks like website is being updated rn :eyes:

paulgali · « **Reply #136 on:** Tue, 20 October 2020, 05:32:13 »

Regardless of IC or not, there should be a 'target price'. If the final price is more, then whatever, but best to not keep people guessing imho

As for communication, there has been little traction, but yall need to be a bit patient to be honest...

when gb is live it'll be announced

Well, I think it's still okay to be a little iffy about giving someone your money when there is this little information coming. In the end, a GB is always about trust and the self-regulation of the community. I am struggling a little, because I really like the design, but I am not sure I have enough trust to give my money away and then possibly hear nothing about the status for many months...
