ScottoFrog by Joe Scotto is a handwired keyboard/macropad with Bluetooth capability (nice!nano). Originally, the board was a full keyboard for single-handed use, but it can be used as gaming macropad too.
Roughly 6 months ago I was commissioned to build something similar to the discontinued Frogpad. (…) I personally don't have a use for a single-handed keyboard but the 20-key layout was perfect to convert it into a gaming macropad – Joe.
Joe 3D printed the case and keycaps with a matte filament and used the fuzzy skin setting in Cura which he thinks makes it look like concrete.
