Hi everyone!
My name is Kfir and i would like to present to you - NoFaff macropad.
NoFaff macropad


NoFaff is a project of mine that addresses some of the things i found missing on other keyboards out there,
i’m really happy with the outcome so far. i hope you will like it too.
i wanted to make a macropad that would:

  1. be low profile.
  2. have a small foot print on my desk.
  3. have enough keys and layers to serve all my daily use-cases (video editing, CAD, EDA, Gaming, streaming, etc)
  4. be usable without any screens.
  5. easily configurable.
  6. and would be ascetically pleasing. (Bongo cat is the cutest :3 )
    Easy per key color editor:
    Layer changing:
