This one is smaller.
I'm actually pretty proud of this one, though it's not really much to look at. I designed and printed the case, and hand wired a little 7 key WASD gamepad kinda thing. It's designed to fit my left hand, and it's super comfortable. It runs the KMK firmware, which in this case was really simple to set up.
The functions are tailored to Team Fortress 2, which I play a lot. It's just the WASD keys in the centre. A key on the left that if I hold it, it sends the CTL keycode (to crouch), and if I double tap it, sends a macro for z and then 2 (which is the "thanks" voiceline). On the right side are two buttons. The first sends scroll lock when I hold it (this is the press to talk key not only for my TF2 config, but also discord), when I double tap it, it sends the E key (which is the medic voice line), and when I triple-tap it it sends a macro for "x2" (which is the "spy" voice line). Lastly the rightmost key just sends the spacebar code. For jumping.
So it's not much, but it's pretty nice. I use it most days, and not just with TF2. Any WASD based game, really.
