Let's build a hot-key, shortcut, stream deck, or 'macro' keyboard built with an Arduino Pro Micro (ATmega 32u4). Because why buy it when you can build it for three-times the cost!. This macro pad features two rotary encoders, RGB back-lighting for Cherry MX switches, a breakout for an external foot pedal, and a mode switch for multiple key profiles. This is not new, but vastly improved version 2.0 of my previous macro keyboard. The previous PCB design video is listed here also. Watch both videos for a full background on the design process; which is really just me getting a grip and learning some humble lessons using Eagle CAD.
