Discipad Pro Hotswap Numpad Through-Hole Keyboard Kit

Based on the original Discipad by Bryan a.k.a. coseyfannitutti of ctfkb.com. Modified by 42. Keebs with hotswap sockets, FR4 switch plate and more.

Bryan, if you’re reading this, please get in touch! I tried e-mailing you a couple of times, I’d love to send you part of the proceeds from every sale.

Build your very own custom hotswap mechanical numpad from scratch!

The black PCBs are RevC, white ones are RevA:

• 17-20-key (black) / 17-key (white) numpad layout
• Uses Kailh/Gateron hotswap sockets
• Includes a FR4 switch plate
• Supports optional rotary encoder in the Num Lock position (black only)
• All 2u keys can be split into 2x 1u (black only)
• Easy to solder, uses only through-hole components (no SMD)
• The only slightly tricky part to solder is the USB-C connector. If you’re a bit unsure, I can solder it for you for a small extra
• Lead-free tinned finish, black/white solder mask
