Ahh! I had actually seen this one but the price and small knobs put me off so I decided to build one myself. As for your code in VIA - what I would suggest is check if your syntax is correct and also check how similar macros are written in VIA so you can try to replicate that, I've never used VIA so can't really say for sure. Just check online how order people have written 2 key macros and you can also ask chatgpt to write you a sample code - it might just work!!

They are programmed in Circuit python which is running on the raspberry pi pico. If you need I can send you the code for you to reference.

What kind of macros are you trying to achieve using your device and also I'd like to know what kind of device are you using for your rotary encoder?

It's not punched holes, it's a basic 18cm x 12cm pcb. The only carving I had to do was for the mechanical switches mounts as the pcb layout was nowhere near the pin nad support structure of the switches. The bluish background on the top side is just a gradient with my logo printed on a sticker paper and pasted on top ;)

Also the keys and knobs structure and placement is based on my hand and where they rest naturally, quite ergonomical for me...

It's actually not that difficult, the only part you might find a bit grinding is the coding part, but the code is quite simple and easy to understand and modify according to your liking...

Look up macropads based on 'raspberry pi pico' and 'circuit python' which will get you started, let me know if you need my code or anything else... Happy to help :)
