What is it

QVEX Lynepad is an additional, fully programmable keyboard suitable for any kind of design work including photo editing, video editing, PCB design, 3D modeling and so much more. It allows you to press shortcuts or run complex macros using a single key.

You can define a separate layout for each application running on your PC.

Currently only Windows is supported (using AHK) with the original firmware! But there is a cross-platform desktop app QVEX Options coming in 2021 that will be backward compatible (sneak-peek). Alternatively, you can build QMK firmware (thanks KemoNine for the port) using the QMK configurator (QMK configurator does not support changing thumbwheel and joystick actions).

Features:

11 Gateron MX keys (80g force clicky, or 45g Tactile)
5-axis wheel (30pos rotation and 4-way tilt (clicky tilt) + push)
Thumbwheel (30pos rotation + push)
Ergonomic and minimalistic design
4 programmable RGB LEDs
Power indication LED
3 Anti-slip silicone pads (we recommend cutting one in half for better stability).
Prepared mapping for KiCad
A total of 21 physical actions (pressing button, rotating wheel, etc.) and up to 54 actions using combinations.
Desktop app with cross-platform support in development(sneak-peek)
QMK support (Thanks to KemoNine) (the configurator doesn't currently support changing joystick and thumbwheel actions)

Included in packaging:

QVEX Lynepad (current revision 1.2 - green PCB)
3x Anti-slip pads (10x1mm)
Quickstart guide
(Optional) 11 Gateron MX green keys (80g force clicky, or 45g Tactile)
(Optional) 11-12 Keycaps (color of your choice)
(Optional) 3D-printed enclosure (including knobs) from black PLA + 4 M3x8mm torx screws
(Optional) Mcdodo® cable of your choice (USB Type C -> USB A).

When applicable, the Lynepad will be pre-assembled.

Keycaps options

Standard quality DSA keycaps made from PBT in various colors.
High-quality XDA keycaps made from PBT in an Iron-color set that includes 1x light-purple, 3x grey, and 7x light-grey keycaps

Why did I make the Lynepad?

I made myself a macro keypad created by @_joshajohnson to help me with designing PCBs. But I've been pressing accidentally multiple keys when trying to use the rotary encoders. And so I decided to design one myself from scratch.

QVEX Lynepad: macro keypad no complaints sofar

Only thing that I noticed is the weight, macro pad is light so operating with the rotary encoders was slightly tricky. Solved it by attaching 5mm thick steel plate to the bottom to add some weight and glued the sliding pads under that.

Thanks for the review

We are printing enclosures with 100% infill to make it heavier. I will try to improve this further.

Well built and works well

Took a little bit to get it working nicely on linux (had to make a custom xkb config to map the inputs how I wanted), but all in all quite solidly built and working great!

Cool and unique

First and foremost, I like its unique and cool appearance.

Unlike common macro pads where you have to choose between keyswitches or rotary encoders by exclusive selection, the Lynepad is good in that the rotary encoder is placed in a position that is thoughtfully designed for easy operation.

The case and knobs are 3D printed parts, and while they are offered at a low price, there is room for improvement in the texture.
However, since the 3D printed parts are publicly available, you can customize them to improve the quality (that's why there is an option to buy without a case).

Custom keyboard and macro pad kits are all the rage right now, but I don't think any of them have a joystick.

This is a unique product, and the vendor is working on upgrading it, so I would recommend it to everyone with high hopes for the future.

If you want a left handed macro pad, buy this ASAP.

I was searching for a macro pad for some photography work as well as to turn into a mouse via 'mouse keys'. I contacted the devs and asked some questions and ultimately bought the Lynepad. I have had nothing but a wonderful response from the devs. They even gave some basic guidance I needed in order to port QMK to the Lynepad which opened up even more features and flexibility.

I should have bought 3 instead of 1 so I could have a Lynepad everywhere I have a keyboard. I'll be ordering more the next time these are in stock.
