Aiden Olsen aka AineeJames shared k11e1, a 11-key macropad with encoder and per-key RGB.
Hey everyone! Here’s my custom-built 4x3 ortho-linear macropad with full RGB lighting, layer indication, and a tactile knob, all powered by QMK and VIA support for easy customization. I went with Kailh Choc Red switches paired with Choc Fox frosted black transparent keycaps to let the RGB lighting shine through beautifully – Aiden.
This macropad runs on a Waveshare RP2040-Zero, making it compact yet fully programmable.
