Title: [MASSDROP] [IC] Fully programmable numpad physical layouts
Post by: Parak on Mon, 22 June 2015, 17:10:12
Vote here: https://www.massdrop.com/vote/physical-layouts-for-a-fully-programmable-standalone-usb-numpad :)

This applies to physical (plate and pcb) layouts only, as due to being fully reprogrammable the legends don't matter. Keycap choices and legends will be voted and/or decided on after the physical layout is chosen.

Mod Edit: Added "[MASSDROP]" to the subject and exposed link.

I really like the Sidekick, it could make for a useful macro board or something like that

Along with fully programmable it would be nice it actually sent the correct key codes.
I don't know why but it is very common to use the reuse the key codes from the main keys making programming a pair.

Yep, any of the USB HID keycodes will be usable, including the keypad specific ones.

Voted for ambi.  I'm kinda sad standard layout is winning.  People are so ****ing boring sometimes.

I actually have a programmable numberpad in the works. It uses a bent aluminum case similar to the Infinity to keep costs down. It should be done by the time my GB for the TK78 goes live.

Neat - hopefully the features and layouts will be sufficiently different so that they don't step on each other's foot too much :)

Feature set for this one is a bit up in the air still, but at the very least it will be chainable to the upcoming ergodox.. and maaaaybe some extra fancy blinkenlights :p

Yeah, and I realized that the standard layout is going to be extremely unsuitable for layer remapping due to the lack of keys. So don't worry about it winning too much, as it's likely going to be quite useless for reprogrammable purposes..
