[IC] 0xC.pad Hex Macropad / Keycaps
Innovation and creativity are the two things that make this hobby fun and ever evolving. This project combines both, and aims to create something unique that hasn’t been done before. It is literally the definition of thinking out-of-the-box, drifting away from the usual square keycap shape to another polygon.
Here started the 0xPROJECT - a new range of keyboards/macropads specifically designed for hexagonal keycaps. We’ll refer to the latter as the HEX profile.
The first compatible PCB will be the 0xC.pad, a 12-key macropad, as the name suggests. Group Buy will be announced soon (leave your email in the IC form to stay updated), and if it receives enough support, it will lead the way for other hexagonal keyboards in various shapes and sizes. Once the design is proven and the keycaps are out, we will also provide the specs so that other PCB designers can give it a go.
2022 UPDATE: We have decided to produce the 0xC.pad WITHOUT A GROUP BUY. FKCaps have kindly offered to invest in the production of the first lot of units and keycaps, which is already ongoing as of January 2022. We're expecting the first units to be for sale around the middle of april at the moment.
HOWEVER this does not mean that filling out this IC form is useless! We will contact everyone who has filled it out with an email provided below when the first units become available, and before announcing the 0xC.pad again publicly.
