From the project
A custom-designed macropad for my sim-racing use, and for general purpose as well.
Everything is secured in place with 4 M3 screws and bolts, with the bolts serving a dual purpose as the base legs. The case is to be 3d-printed, along with the knob for the rotary encoder.
To swap between custom in-game keyboard usage and a normal numpad style keyboard, click down on the rotary encoder.
