Thank-you to PCBWay for sponsoring this video, get the board shown in this video here, as well as the code and the case!:
https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/Another_Macro_Pad_b28ff1db.htmlYup! I made another one, this time with lights! Cherry MX (and equivalent) mechanical keyboard switches have a provision for a RGB LED and I decided to toss in some addressable ones in order to double the fun! The greatest part of this particular macro pad is that you can use any microcontroller you would like, instead of being stuck to a pro micro like my previous macro pad, AND you get to mix and match switches - go nuts!
R1, R2, R4, R5, R6, R7 are 5k (I used 4.7k)
R8, R9, R10 are 1k
R3 is 10k
R11 is 500R
Here are the parts you will need:
