From the project

A compact 10-key mechanical macropad designed for daily computer use and live directing/broadcasting.

A compact 10-key mechanical macropad designed for daily computer use and live directing/broadcasting.

The hackpad is powered by a Seeed Studio XIAO RP2040 and runs QMK Firmware. Each key is assigned to a dedicated function key from F13 to F22, allowing the macropad to be used with software that supports custom keyboard shortcuts and macros.
