Hi everyone, this is the third edition of the Treasure TYPE-9 macropad we are making since 2017.
This new version will come with updated internals and new finish/color options.

Treasure TYPE-9 is a fully programable metal 9-keys keyboard, that can be used for shortcuts, as a Stream Deck or simply for Artisan display.
With QMK & VIA support, compatible with Windows, MacOS and Linux. It also works on iPad ( Works great on Procreate ).
Design-wise, it is a mix of rounded lines and sharp edges, a compact and timeless design that makes it stand out on your desk.

Only thing I could ever wish for (Which im not even sure if it's possible) is fitting a battery and bluetooth compatible pcb in that thing so you can really make it a pocket macropad. Will cop nonetheless
