About This Design
The MonkiiPad16 is our newest macropad, a 4×4 grid of programmable keys with a 0.96" OLED screen and a rotary knob sitting alongside it. Turn the knob and the screen brings up a layer menu, click it and the new layer is live, so a numpad becomes a wall of editor shortcuts without you ever taking your hands off the pad. It runs on an RP2040 Zero, it is handwired on 3D-printed plates like everything else we make, and the plate files and firmware are all on GitHub. A full build guide is on the way.
