MechWild here again with another Pro Micro based through hole kit, this time it’s a numpad. Our previous product, the Mercutio, was a 40% board which is intimidating to a lot of people because there’s no numbers unless you make use of layers. So here you go, a little companion for your keyboard that does the numbers.

The MurphPad is a numpad with a few extra features. There is a macro row above the typical numpad area as well as 2 keys adjacent to the numpad area. We are including a rotary encoder and OLED as well with this kit to squeeze in some extra functionality. And some of you might just want to use this as a macropad and we’ve thought of that too. The MurphPad will support an all 1u layout. If you’ve had your fill of knobs, you can use an MX switch in its place.
But wait, there’s more! If that still isn’t enough customizability, you can mirror the numpad layout.
