Dynamically Assignable Macro Keyboard with e-ink Display

Cherry MX (and similar) switches are supposed to be spaced 19.05mm (=0.75 inch or 750mil ) apart for keycaps to fit perfectly. Some switches don't have mounting pins, but they can be very helpful to position the switch accurately when they're soldered on.

I really like the e-ink screen idea. Reminds me of the Elgato Streamdeck, and also of the Satisfaction75 keyboard.

it would be great if u can make it with esp32, so itpossibelto control pc/laptop program wirelessly with bluetooth

Awesome project I have 0 python or soldering knowledge but this looks so cool

wawou . courld you share to us your simulation pcb assembly software name? thank you

Great content!

My i ask a question?!
I have a Corsair K70 Low Profile, great keyboard.... for me. :) The only thing is, its not wireless. Is it possible to make such a keyboard like this wireless?

I've thought of doing this but with those flat membrane buttons below a flexible display so you just press the icon, but still have tactile feedback. But I can't find a large enough flexible display.

Let’s say I want to do the least amount of work possible. Can you do a video showing how to add a screen to an existing keypad?

Really, really cool project. Love custom keypads.

It's funny because the "fresh air indicator" is the most German thing on this video. Not the accent, not the German GIMP, the fresh air indicator.

👌

noticing a clear lack of purposelessness in this comment section

Mir kenne älles , außer Englisch :-)
Spaß bei Seite. Ich will son Ding!

Slovák?

i reaaly love the animation, what software did you use to make that?

what software did you use for presenting your model? ty

just about to order the parts to build my own macro keyboard and i see this and apparently this is an established thing, thats pretty neat

nice project. what I think would improve it is to make the switches plate-mounted instead of pcb-mounted. This would allign them perfectly and improve the typing experience

Absolutely insane how many features you've packed into this. People pay a lot more for a lot less. Great stuff

big plus for you using linux :)

Is posible use Arduino nano?

What is the software to make these fantastic animation?

can i get the dimension of casing ?

heck yeah e-ink!!

Soo Good

That project is really cool! I’ll keep as a benchmark for my custom kb in the future.

I would pay so much for one of these

Moinsen....which 3d printer are u using? The result looks great.

Wow that's so awesome. I was just thinking about doing something similar and searched if someone did it. You made what I was thinking about but 1000x cooler. Great video.

The e-ink display is just perfect for this! Great design.

Compared to lets say a Stream Deck what (if any) advantages does this have? and what is the price point?

I made myself a remote control in the case of a kitchen timer-eggs, based on esp8266. It only supports the h-encoder, although in the future I plan to add touch buttons to implement gestures.

Awesome.

i love you and i love this this is amazing. the first thing i wanted to see when i saw the RGB leds on the knob is, "you should switch between those to indicate something based on the direction of the knob" and then i saw the volume leds and i was like !!!! yay!!!

GREAAAAT!!! Good job! I'd like to ba able to do the 1/10th of that one day.. (I'm starting domotic)

How do you make this mounting? What software was used

Pretty great thanks!

That looks really nice!

Id suggest the use of SMD-LED's, UF2 bootloader (so you can control the device, python code etc from the USB-c plug), LED's for the buttons (to show status and provide feedback) and a black PCB...because i really like black PCB's :D

Really like the project as is tho!

Taran from LTT wet dream

your channel is underrated

always thought something like this would be really useful, but with the display on the keycaps. Still though, pretty awesome! 👍

Hey I used this as the basis for my macro keyboard!

Which program did u use for animation ?

I just saw a video how you can use your msla 3d printer if you have one to develop your own pcbs I might have to try this ,have a broken corsair keyboard I could rip some caps off and pretty sure I have an encoder and the leds I need just need a screen and controller

The auto subtitles are interpreting this guy as speaking in German lol

Great work !!

This is the best thing I have seen in ages

Real question, will this get me banned in modern First Person Shootergames as it acts as a second mouse? this may trigger some red flags as hardware emulation of mouse events is often used to bypass anti-cheating for aimbot software.

great work!! tempting to build...
