I wanted a macro pad, but I didn't want to make it in the "conventional" sense using an Arduino. I stumbled upon a broken Logitech mouse with a macro pad on its side and figured it would be perfect for turning it into a "full sized" pad with keyboard key switches that can help with editing and cad stuff!

This conversion was accomplished by tearing apart the mouse to slim it down and get access to the 12 macro keys so that wires can be ran from them to the new keyboard switches.

Everything was then housed inside of a 3d printed enclosure with custom 3d printed keycaps that were quickly replaced with caps that allow for a label to be placed underneath.

This repurposed mouse will make editing videos and cad work a bit smoother!
