ScottoDeck Handwired Macropad

ScottoDeck Handwired Macropad

The ScottoDeck is an 8-key macropad with two EC11 encoders designed for live streaming. It uses Drop Holy Pandas and was designed and built live on YouTube. I also printed it completely solid and added weights so it doesn't move around easily. There isn't really much to say about it other than it works and I'm happy with it. Unfortunately I forgot to take high resolution photos of the insides so you'll have to just accept the live stream screenshots.

 

Getting One

If you’re interested in getting one assembled, contact me and we can discuss the components and other details for a commissioned build. However, the files are available for free here if you want to build one yourself.

In addition to the 3D printed case, heat shink tubing, wire, and copper, you'll also need tools along with the following components:

Firmware

You can find the firmware files on the qmk_firmware repository or you can compile them online using the QMK Configurator. However, QMK is often slow at getting changes merged and because of that you can find the most up-to-date firmware on the ScottoKeebs Github repository. Also available are the pre-compiled firmware files that are ready to flash:

default.uf2 - Default QMK keymap.
vial.uf2 - Default keymap with Vial configurator support
