From the project
A 'simple' 17-20 key Numpad
The name comes from the slightly unortodox placement of the controller straddling the hot-swap socket, with not all pins soldered, and the fact that it can be built as a 20-key ortholinear macro pad.
- Full Sandwich Case design - Low cost/Simple to build - Powerful and Flexible MCU - Compatible with QMK/Vial and ZMK firmware - Reversible for SouthPaw's - Dual Rotary Encoders - Per-Key RGB - Build instructions are printed on the backplate for an easy build.
