ScottoT9 PCB Macropad

ScottoT9 PCB Macropad

The ScottoT9 (PCB Edition) is a 14-key macropad based on the T9 keyboard layout with a 128x64 OLED display. Unlike the original T9 keyboard, this one doesn't have any predictive typing features and instead relies heavily on QMK tap dance. I tried my best to put a modern twist on T9 in giving the most common punctuation and features precedence in the keymap. Once you start using it, you get surprised at just how fast you can start to type. The board is powered by a single RP2040 Zero running QMK firmware.

 

Getting One

If you’re interested in getting one assembled, contact me and we can discuss the components and other details for a commissioned build. If you want to build it yourself, you'll need the following:

You can find the case files here.


Firmware

You can find the most up-to-date firmware on the ScottoKeebs Github repository. Also available are the pre-compiled firmware files that you can simply download (right click, save as) and flash by dragging and dropping to the controller.

default.uf2 - Default QMK keymap without fancy T9 stuff.
vial.uf2 - Default QMK keymap with Vial configurator support and no T9 stuff.
scotto.uf2 - The fancy T9 keymap with all the tap dance features.

The ScottoT9 features bootmagic that will allow you to hold the top left key when plugging it in to enter bootloader mode for firmware flashing.
