NoFaff is a project of mine that addresses some of the things i found missing on other keyboards out there,
i'm really happy with the outcome so far. i hope you will like it too.
i wanted to make a macropad that would:
1. be low profile.
2. have a small foot print on my desk.
3. have enough keys and layers to serve all my daily use-cases (video editing, CAD, EDA, Gaming, streaming, etc)
4. be usable without any screens.
5. easily configurable.
6. and would be ascetically pleasing. (Bongo cat is the cutest :3 )
Easy per key color editor:
Layer changing:
