Title: [IC] 6key Macropad

Just Gray

At first, I made this model to 3D print and wiring my own.

1. This model is for 3D printing.
2. I have testing model again and again by using 3D printer.
3. I want to make this to aluminum, but I think that's out of my control.
4. At first i think i just glue those parts but It's not hard enough to use....I need another way to attach those parts.

5. Using ATMega32u4 arduino (with QMK or other keymapping programs) and custom designed PCB.

How about 4 screws going through the plate from the bottom so it cant be seen?

4 screws start to bottom and go through plate and the upper?...Thanks! I'd try it

any details on pcb/connector/firmware? looks interesting, glwic.

What’s the controller going to be?
I’m in

I think about any ATMega32u4(with QMK on)controller that usually used in wiring, custom kbdlayout.

If i could, I want to design own PCBs.

This looks great! Depending on pricing I'm in.

Looks awesome! I'd be down for this if you sort out the "keep it together without glue" issue as well as getting a PCB. Not everyone have the want to hand wire, even if it is for a 6 key macro. It does look pretty sweet though, I'll keep checking back to see the progress if you decide to take it further.  :thumb:

This is pointless, small, cute and probably expensive.  Where can I get one?

Thanks!
I need to design PCB and I am studying about it
As possible, I think about Arduino controller with bluetooth module (to use it wireless)

Yeah, that would be pretty awesome having a wireless macro! I don't know if anyone has tried that before, none that I've seen before anyways... You'd have to sort out a battery option then, but I'm sure there are plenty of cell phone batteries that could work in a small form factor like that. I'd most likely see what's out there and try and work the "attaching everything together" situation around that. In my head, you might be about to attach everything with just one screw on left side. PM me if you'd like me to draw up my idea, I'm a graphic designer so it shouldn't be a big deal.

Oh yes i like it. Im searching for a nice Macropad a while now but i dont wanna spend to much on this so this could be a nice opportunity!

Next week, I'll receive the 3d printed sample and 'll think about that problems....
Also I need to re-design it to add the solution of attachment problem
Thanks for your advices and attentions...

Wonderful idea, and an even better design- hoping for more updates on this!
