Context:
BigNum is part of a series of projects I've recently started, all focused on custom mechanical keyboards. These projects include a variety of keycap sets, this numpad, and soon, an ISO105 keyboard and a 75% keyboard.
Description :
BigNum is a 3D-printed numpad/macropad designed for those who enjoy DIY projects and customizing their tools.
This project offers two versions: one with hotswap sockets, perfect for easily swapping out switches, and another with directly soldered switches for a more permanent build.
You can configure each key using Vial, a software that allows you to tailor the key functions to your needs.
Whether you’re looking to create a simple numpad or a more complex macropad, BigNum can adapt to your preferences.
The project includes all necessary files for 3D printing and a detailed assembly guide to walk you through each step.
Features:
I highly recommend following the PDF guides in addition to the video. There is a guide available for each version of the BigNum.
These following lists include everything you’ll need to assemble the BigNum, with options for customization.
