Would you like to contribute to this year's MK Advent Calendar? Here are the guidelines for authors, along with last year's edition for reference.

Alex Miller (aka doesntfazer) of Keyboard Dweebs just finished another project: the Macro Macro. (Macro as in big, then Macro as in a set of instructions.)

This was designed because I love video games, and I love sub-40% keyboards. Those 2 hobbies don't mix well. I've been using the Dweebs Macro Mini for a little over a year but found it's pretty lacking in the buttons department. I needed something that I could add more macros to, and have more thumb cluster buttons – Alex.

After a teaser posted last week, all the source files of this project are available on github.

Specs

  • 51 keys, MX
  • hotswap
  • Waveshare RP2040 controller
  • display

Obviously, since the keyboarddweebs shop is closed, Alex quit selling keyboards, this will not be for sale. But anyone who would like to sell a MacroMacro, or make them for themselves are welcome to, since it's under the GPL.
