Inspired by Marcin Wichary's excellent article on keyboard customizations, I decided I needed a bigger macropad (more keys!). I, erm, have several already, so for this one, I wanted choc low profile switches. I ended up at the kowgary16. The actual build documentation was sparse, so I documented my steps.

Saw this nascent #macropad for #mathematicians and thought of #mathstodon

Their slogan is "Type equations at the speed of thought with this specialized keypad".

Got my wife a Chocopad from keeb.io (link below) to help her with macros and common key combos/commands in Excel and she couldn't be happier. She wanted to put it together and was thrilled to see it come together.

I'll take any opportunity to build a keeb/macropad any day, especially when it helps my wife work easier 😁

And yes, #Keyboards - including #MacroPads - should require any Software whatsoever to program.

Like at most gimme a web tool to output a hex file and put that on a flashdrive or microSD card.

@Tali does this work with any computer, OS, etc.? I wanted to get one of these #macropads and connect it to my Linux laptop
