What I wanted to achieve with owl8

I have made 40% keyboards with Claw44, bat43, wings42, but since the number of keys is the minimum, I focused on the keymaps necessary for full-scale keystroke work (programming in the case of the author). I am.

I use it only occasionally, but there are times when I want to do work with just one keystroke without using layers, but it is convenient to have one macro pad for that purpose.

I don't want it to take up too much space on the desk, so I chose a narrow pitch design for bat43 and wings42.

You can also connect wirelessly by using BMP, so you can easily move to any place you like without worrying about cable routing.

As with wings42, you can use plates for key switch expansion and rotary encoders.

I use a rotary encoder to adjust the volume and brightness of the display, and assign arrow keys, Enter, Space, BS, ESC, etc. to the key switches.

feature

・ It is an 8-key macro pad.
・ Normally 8 keys, but 4 keys or 2 rotary encoders can be added by the expansion plate.
-Dedicated to Kailh low profile switch (Choc).
-It has a narrow pitch (17x18mm) and is narrower than the general key switch spacing of 19x19mm, making it a compact size.
-Since there is a battery space for BLE Micro Pro, wireless communication can be realized by preparing a BLE Micro Pro and a battery set.

Changes in v2

-Supports Pro Micro Type-C
・ The included Pro Micro is also Type-C.
・ Due to the above measures, the outer shape has become slightly larger.
・ Battery size for BLE Micro Pro has increased
-Changed the slide switch for BLE Micro Pro

How to assemble

-Since no diode is used, soldering is relatively easy.
・ Key switch socket is not supported (solder directly to the key switch)
