Toot

I made a thing,

it's a custom macro pad.

the buttons do the following :

• upper left : turn for main PC volume, clic for mute/unmute

• lower left : Up for extended multi screens/Down for single main screen

• upper right : Up for previous track / Down for next track

• Lower right : turn for after effects volume (via the windows mixer) clic for mute/unmute active tab in firefox

• center red button, launch VPN (might change that one )

(1/3)

The box is an old usb hub from the late thinkgeek (https://www.geekalerts.com/usb-doomsday-device-hub/)

I changed the inside and replaced almost all the switches (only the red button is an original one) by:

• 2 spring toggle switches(auto-jump back to off in the center)

• and 2 rotary encoders

everything is connected to an arduino Pro Micro and controled by a QMK firmware.

I used Auto HotKey to control the behavior (only main volume knob and track swith have media keycodes the rest is F14 to F19)

I 3d Printed 2 of the knob from this collection https://makerworld.com/en/models/560176?from=search#profileId-479407

(I could have modeled them myself but was quiker that way, no need to reinvent the wheel )

I painted them with 2 posca pens (silver and black) a drawing gum pen (for the flakes) and a coat of gloss varnish.

I also printed a custom support to secure the arduino Pro Micro inside the box
