A 4x4 numpad/macro pad with only through hole components. It supports up to 4 rotary encoder. The positions for the encoder are interchangeable with keyboard switches.
Below you can see the possible positions for the 4 rotary encoder (Rev1 only 2).
*If you place a encoder in the top left corner (E1), you can't use another encoder in the lower right corner.*
```

- Encoder E1 performs a tap on `KC_F17` and `KC_F18`.
- Encoder E2 performs a tap on `KC_F19` and `KC_F20`.
- Encoder E3 performs a tap on `KC_F21` and `KC_F22`.
- Encoder E4 performs a tap on `KC_F23` and `KC_F24`.
*The F17-F24 keys are intended to be customized via [Karabiner-Elements (OSX)](https://github.com/pqrs-org/Karabiner-Elements), or [AutoHotkey](https://github.com/Lexikos/AutoHotkey_L) (WIN)*
It's a great companion to the Plaid keyboard by [hsgw](https://github.com/hsgw/) and heavily inspired by it.
