This is the Rev3 of the Plaid-Pad pcb.More info's in the changelog below.
Preflashed firmware, with support for VIAL Configurator, easy customize keymap without coding, compiling or flashning
The rotary encoder are assign to F17-F24 and you can customize the behavior with Karabiner-Elements (OSX) or AutoHotkey (WIN), or now with VIAL
If you don't like the aditional software, you can customize all keys and rotary encoder with the QMK firmware
Support for a 0.91 Inch oled display (SSD1306) (not included)
Black kit has a gold plated pcb and brass slotted screws
White kit has a silvery plated pcb and stainless steel screws (T6 Torx)
USB-C connector
MX (3-Pin, 5-Pin), Choc and ChocV2 switch support
Supports up to 4 Rotary Encoder (top row, or right column)
Positions for the Rotary Encoder are interchangeable with switches
Only through-hole parts (easy to solder)

Top, mid and bottom pcb (choose color)
2mm clear acrylic guard plate (has bluish protection film)
Solder parts with pre flashed Atmega328 (USBaspLoader and QMK firmware with VIA support)
Spacer and screws (white kit: stainless steel with T6 Torx, black kit: brass slotted screws)
Rubber feeds
You also need:
16x switches (3pin, or 5pin)
Optional: rotary encoder (0-4x)
Optional: Oled display (SSD1306 - 0.91 Inch 128x32 I2C)
USB-C cable
