I'm happy to see more Indian projects on Geekhack but there's some issues here.

1) This is not an IC, IC's are specifically made for feedback.There is no IC form linked.
2) It looks like a copy of the BN006, which is still available for $40 on their website. I'd probably make some design & layout changes(maybe add some 2u support,since choc stabilizers exist).
3) Post better pics of the proto w/ different colours. I know it's just black and white but still it would be nice to see. Show some pics with the Rubber back/Silicone back.
4) What material is the plate made out of? Is it an integrated plate?
5) "Low profile switches makes it more reliable, much faster and gives the premium feel to any user.It gives a level up gaming experience with an amazing keypress sound" This is just marketing bs and not needed.
6) How are you planning to sell these? Vendors/self fulfillment?
7) Consider VIAL support.

I'd take these suggestions into account and ask for more feedback on IMKC discord. GLWIC

I am very much thankful to you for your advice. I just need to add up something it is a different design and i will post more pic to make sure you see the actual design of my macropad.
Secondly it is not the copy the BN006 you are talking abut is a 6 key macropad and mine is 9 key and they sell their 9 key for 70$ so i guess it is already 20$ cheaper and the processor used is atmega 32u4 that is the best chip available in the market for qmk keyboards.
And yes this macro pad has via and vial support and surely i will add pics of more colour variants.
I will sell it through both Vendors and self fulfillment. Ill get you updated soon about it.
