hi all i’m looking for a macropad that meets the following criteria
at least 16 1u keys (4x4 config)
per switch RGB
QMK (capable of addressing each RGB LED individually)
USB-C
closest reference is the BM16A but i don’t believe it supports RGB LED, only single color
willing to commission someone for a build if they have any ideas on how to achieve this.
thanks!
Look around among Let’s Split ortholinear variants: 48 keys split into 24 key halves, each independently usable. When you get them, flash VIA firmware on it so you can program it without reflashing. Mine from NK is hot swap which is particularly handy.
NP. IMO the biggest issue with macro pads is the gap between perceived need and actual need. The best way to find out is to get one and try. And Let’s Split path is the cheapest, most readily available path AFAIK.
