From the project

Repository for design files, source code and assembly guides regarding this keypad.

Inspired by di0ib's Six Pack design, this keypad project is intended for me on learning how to use KiCAD by extending their design to 8 keys. Mishaps, snafus and foobars expected and incoming.

- 8 keys, directly connected to MCU pins - 8 backlight LEDs, individually addresssable - Powered by the Pro Micro - Alps or MX button support - Runs on a simple Arduino sketch, or optionally QMK firmware
