What is it?



The SPIN Macro Pad is an external keypad that is made to help with workflows where you want analog control, such as photo or video editing, or for those who just want to mess with encoders!

This is my first big project and it was heavily inspired by both u/hsgwchan‘s Plaid and u/The_Royal's RoMac. I wanted to make the encoders a key part of the design, and highlight the surface mount components that typically end up hidden.

I have given the option to exclude the knobs for those who prefer a different feel and would like to source their own.

If you would like a case for this kit, head on over to P3D Store who is producing some!

Features



USB-C connectivity



Powered by QMK Firmware



12 keys with support for Kailh Cherry-MX hotswap sockets (read note below).

Three rotary encoders with high quality aluminum knobs

All SMD components pre-soldered. Just solder sockets, encoders, and board connector.

Three zone RGB underglow



Prototyping area with unused pins broken out

Support for the addition of a 0.91" I2C OLED

(note: acrylic plate mounting will interfere with some 0.91" OLEDs)

Note on sockets: If I get over 150 orders then I will include 12 sockets with each order. I will not be able to under 150 orders as it's not cost effective since I have to order in bulk from Kailh.

Included in kit

Top and Bottom PCBs, SMD parts pre-soldered.

6x m2.5 6mm female-female standoffs

2x m2.5 6mm male-female standoffs

12x m2.5 screws

2mm acrylic protective plate

3x 17mm machined aluminum knobs, if selected.

3x EC12 rotary encoders (smooth turn, pushbutton). Not pre-soldered.

1x Male and 1x Female 3 pin header to connect Top/Bottom PCBs. Not pre-soldered.

Not included

Keycaps and switches (switches must be 5-pin PCB mount style if using sockets since there is no plate)
