"Yes, Kawii9 is back"
We eventually can say that, after a long time being asked “hey, any cool macropad available?”.
Learning from the previous version, we acknowledge that a macropad is not only a small keypad, but also a decorative gadget for your desk.
Following the trend, we added an OLED screen for displaying information and animations, resolution of 128*64 pixels gives more space for things: layers, lock keys, lighting mode, WPM, animations, and more. The bigger the merrier, isn’t it?. The screen UI will be updated continuously, providing more interactive and informative experience.
Rotary knob is charming and fashionable, you can have up to 2 of them.
We hope you like it, and feel free to let us know if you have any recommendation.

Thanks to VIA, we can freely map the rotation directions (clockwise and anti-clockwise) to any key or combination.
RGB Layers
A “multi-function” macropad may have various… functions. It can be useful for working tasks, entertainment, or even gaming.
Using layers is a good way to keep all those functions in their place, and switching between layers is necessary. “RGB Layers” changes the LEDs’ color whenever you switch layer, thus, help you know which layer is being used.

Note: the OLED screen can also display the layer status, if available.
