Title: Custom programmable 4-switch PCB?!
Post by: monojira on Wed, 10 May 2017, 19:00:12

Hello,

I'm looking to build a tiny device with 4 switches (can be 6 or 8 or even a fully programmable numpad if nothing else works) with USB connectivity.

The main issue here is that it needs to be programmable and affordable. Does anyone know where I could get a PCB like that?


Edit: Also, would any numpad PBT be customizeable?

There's a 3 switches business card which comes even already assembled on Techkeys (https://techkeys.us/products/techkeys-keyboard-business-card).
As for numpads, you can buy ready made products such as the winkeyless.kr B.pad X2 (http://winkeyless.kr/product/b-pad-x2-pcb/), GON's GONpad (http://www.gonskeyboardworks.com/pcbs-and-controllers/59-gonpad-pcb.html) (although be aware there's some controversy regarding GON delivery time, so make you sure you browse the forums and make up your mind), or you can use a breakout board and make your own, as I did (https://www.google.it/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjNy4HrwOfTAhUGD5oKHTm_BvEQFggpMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fgeekhack.org%2Findex.php%3Ftopic%3D85874.0&usg=AFQjCNEEmkX66xhhXGRpK0CbGgQ2bQtgsA).
