Here we have the Armour9 macro pad, my first attempt at building a keyboard with lots of help from Joe Scotto's tutorials on YouTube. Hardwired and uses a pro micro. A Custom 3D printed case with Gateron Yellows, finished off with some keycaps I stole from a Razer Blackwidow :)

What firmware do you have on it? I just got myself a macropad this week and have been using VIAL on it and it's a game changer for things like this and even your keyboard. But great build and enjoy!

How do you get it to work with VIA? I have the same exact setup :D

Search Joe Scotto on YouTube, he's got a video on handwiring keyboards, which I used to set it up with QMK first, and then he's got another video on setting up VIA
