Introduction
Have you purchased a macro expansion kit or novelties out of "FOMO" with your base kit? But it's just laying around?
Are you looking forward to displaying your favorite artisans!?
Do you need a fast access to your function keys! but you only have a 65% or 60% keyboard? (Excluding XT unless u want an XT over you XT)
Do you keep mistakenly pressing F1 instead of Esc key in your XT keyboard and ask for "Help?"
Well, if you like some "Help?" we got you covered!

Introducing Xteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

A modern solution to end my & your sufferings.


Inspiration
One day I asked myself hmmmm how about I will design a macro pad, and yeah... I ended up designing Xteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!.
At first the project was just for fun and giggles for me to adventure to new MCUs or other fun memes and stuff which might come in later the future.

I did not believe it will even reach a prototype phase... Anyway.


Design


I designed Xteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! to be as human friendly as possible, when I was looking at the project as a whole.
I went and added a tent on the top row for no reason or whatever.
I tested the aerodynamic by myself I did not! and while there are no meanings behind the test I made it, Also I just wanted to add extra text here.
I am thinking of new things for the PCB and UDB so stay tuned :thumb:
PCB is designed by only me :blank: Thebloodyezkb so if you are interested, you must find the details below of the project or join my discord to be pinged more often.
