An upgraded Macropad that features 9 keys and uses matricies to wire them up ensuring efficient wiring and use of pins, The keys are wired in a row's of 3 and columns of 3, This allows only 6 pins to be used
Why I made this?
I made this because I wamted to iterate and improve on my last macropad where I messed up while putting in the screws
