Summary

I got this macro pad to serve 4 needs:

  • Fast volume control
  • A microphone mute button
  • A discord deafen button
  • A toggle RGB button for my PC

Building this was initially a pain because I attempted to use Millmax Sockets; however, the assembly was effectively held together by the switches, so soldering directly to the PCB was necessary. Originally I had Kailh Box Jade switches in this, but the translucent top housing looked garish compared to the black top housing of JWK Black T1 switches.

Simple and effective!
