Just by mounting the arduino on the bottom I will fix all those problems. As you can see I had to cut the plate at the top to makie room for the USB connector and there's a strip of aluminium that's way too thin on the right of the OLED screen. I would mount the Arduino on the bottom of the PCB so that I can use the same form factor but have a nicer plate.You may wonder why all those different switches: I'll use this numpad as a swith tester to convert my collegues at work :DĪnd now I think we can call this project complete. I really like the contrast between the aluminium plate and the brass screws. And now the easy part: plate, screws and keycaps. These are actually for plastics but work great for wood too. we can assemble the YamPAD and complete the project. Hot swappable keys using Kailh PCB socketsįinally.The name comes from the acronym: Yet Another Mechanical num PAD, referring to the disruptive and innovative nature of the project :D Features The only difference comes from the bottom row, which uses a 4 keys configuration, thus enabling the use of the macropad as a nav cluster. The Yampad is a Macropad/Numpad which uses Cherry MX style mechanical switches laid out in the usual numeric pad layout. Upon searching for a readily-available numpad I found out that none had all the features I wanted, and everyone costed too much. I tried to use layers and a smart positioning of the numbers but nothing can beat the numpad. I discovered that 75 keys are more than enough for my daily job BUT the numpad is the only thing I'm really missing. Recently I switched to a keyboard that doesn't have the nav cluster, nor the numpad.
