Open-Source Wooden Keyboard/Macropad: DIY Your Way to Productivity 

This channel is one of the best elelctronics/DIY channels on this page. Amazingly detailed projects with lots of work put into them instead of useless short lived stuff just to make content. Here, the project is the star. And then there's even source files?? Dude, you're amazing!

I Really enjoyed your project. I once heard someone say, "Why Buy Something when you can spend 3 times as much making it yourself" hehe. I enjoyed your sense of Humour! Keep it up, I'll be using this project as a basic guideline for my own Ideas, Which often are above my Pay grade. Nice to have these cutting edge tools too.

You're definitely an introvert like me. I find myself deep into whatever I'm working on and when someone disrupt me, I have no way of getting back to that work again. So If I have something going on that i would need to finish, no one, I mean not a single person or event should ever disrupt me or else I would procrastinate for days.. Anyway, I wish I could replicate your project to help me work even faster because I am currently bombarded with lots of task and I can't keep up anymore. I feel like quitting these days. I don't "alone time" anymore and that drains me BIG TIME.

Beautifully done!

I discover your channel through this video of an exceptional quality, Bravo!

The wooden one is awesome, very well done!

Love it, if I could just buy the pcb with everything soldered I definitely would. My skill level is not that high to do it on my own

Really cool project and excellent video! Hackaday brought me here, but you've got a new subscriber now. Thanks for sharing!

This is one AMAZING VIDEO!👏

Another great video! Thanks for putting the time and effort into making these videos, they are a great inspiration for my projects (which I'm mostly too lazy to share, I'm sorry!).

You are a ***** genius!😮😅

That's really cool!

DAMN, thats great, only thing to make it better would have been if it was Bluetooth really, being able to use it with an iPad would be awesome (I would also add a iPad slot to hold it lol but thats just me...

Como argentino ver ese mate ahí me infó el pecho! que grande!

Excelent work

Great project !!! I was looking for options for a macropad and "found" your channel... Untill now, by far, it's the best option out there. Any specific reason for choosing STM32 as the heart of the unit ?? I was more declined to use pi pico, since I can use micropython for programming...

how did you program the jog/shuttle/scroll to work with wheel? i cant find the shortcut in dvr! great work btw, i cant possibly make this on my own 😂

i think i cam when you installed that key stabilizer.

Hey Sebastian, you are the right example for "Where there's a will, there's a way".....your videos are just amazing and very informational...Never ever lose your pace.,.Carry on

awesome keyboard. Was about to design my own but might just use this one ;) One thing I would do differently is the firmware. If you use QMK and ad VIA support you can easily remap the buttons with a nice gui software (VIA) but that's personal preference. Great project and video 👍

Modern

Hi Sir This is very cool to see Sir I am from India I am Music Producer Can You Make Same type of Controller for my DAW Logic Pro x for me? Because I Liked So much of Classic and Vintage Style Controller like Roland MC 500 Sequence .....?

Wow.... ! That's awesome I have the real speed editor but I would love to have yours as well. What software did you use to program the keys?

Nice project Sebastian!....can it be used on other devices?

Is the knob something that was custom made or is it something that can be bought?

Świetne!

Terribly sorry but would you mind telling me the names of the bits of music you are using in this video?

Genius...

Нормально так вийшло)

is your space mouse custom, or is it just a 3d printed pad to attach to your space mouse?

The wood one on Black stain

You put the [ IN ] key backwards ;)

mira, un mate!!! estaba medio lavado

Be careful around that Lazer thing. It might reflect off a bit of reflective metal and perform Lazer eye surgery on you.

Wait what! You’re drinking mate? Where are you?

The way you describe not being able to work when you want to reminds me of many ADHD stories, have you got that checked out?

Wow, you're crazy. And I mean that in a 100% positive way 😄👍 Wood.... And I must say I HAVE to make a pad too, to get faster working in DaVinci. Great idea! I also often follow the "where's the fun in that" rule 😁

Classic or modern ? I like both of them but it seems the buttons on the classic one are a bit too much "floating" for my liking. Too much space between them or a bit out of line? I'm not sure, maybe it is just that the plastic of the keys shows a bit too much - something that would be easy to fix though. I started a similar project a few years ago with one of those (optical) CNC jog wheels. At first I did not like the clicky feeling of the detents but when I swapped this for one with a smooth wheel, I immediately loved the clicky style. It gives me a much better control when scrolling frame by frame so this is my personal preference.

Excelent work and amazing finish!

Respect, I admire your skills and great representation. For years I've been thinking about an input tool like this for SolidWorks and Fusion 360 instead of a 3DConnection mouse. They are all beyond my financial reach. Since I would like to have an illuminated font, my question is - could the font be completely lasered and poured with clear transparent resin?

Bro u made an awesome job! I will do one for myself! Ty so much for the inspiration on this video.

Respekt, ich bewundere deine Fähigkeiten und tollen Representation. Seit Jahren denke ich über so ein Eingabe-Tool für SolidWorks und Fusion 360 nach, anstelle einer 3DConnection-Mouse. Die liegen alle außerhalb meiner finanziellen Reichweite. Da ich gerne eine beleuchtete Schrift hätte, meine Frage - Könnte man die Schrift ganz durch lasern und mit resine ausgießen?

Beautiful work.

Hey Sebastian! Hope you are doing well? Did you ever heard about PJON? I have an idea for a ESP32 x ESPHOME x PJON crossover project - Could be an alternative to the KNX bus. We may have chat about that?

El Mateee

Only 11k views ? This is insanity, outstanding work !

How do you not have more views?? That was amazing

Hi Sebastian , it would be nice to see something more about your workshop, especially I am interested in more info about your CNC station and enclosure 10:15. Your videos are awesome btw, keep doing, even if not so often but still great value for us, thank you

The project is very interesting as a concept, as a circuit solution, although for me personally it has no practical interest. It's great that the project is revealed in great detail. I look forward to new interesting projects. Good luck!

I love it.

Your version has one feature, which makes it waaaay better than the original SE: It has a Zoom button! Keep doing great work!

hey, thank you very much for this very clever solution. I only recently discovered video editing for myself and of course I also wanted to buy the speededitor, but it's too expensive and I don't know what to do with the multicam buttons. So thanks again for your work.

I would suggest using unified remote with an old phone/tablet(or just your daily driver) to get your workflow down and fine tune what you want on it. I'm still planning the physical version, but I used this for a game controller.

This is the first video of you I see. It was amazing. Immediately subscribed.

Gerat job man!

Take my sub, this is amazing

Szacun... Jak zwykle robisz niesamowitą robotę...

You left the usb connector in the board. please share the link

Great project!

Besides its a good project, the worst part is this man isn't responding to any queries

Awesome project!👍

LGR approves?

Well, I'm not quite capable of following through with one of these (me ? 👴). But this is a great vid by any measure not to mention all the supporting work to support all your projects ! Take care and please stay safe. -Mike слава Україні ! героям слава !
