Earlier this year I ordered a couple of Navi10 kits from KeyHive. I finally got around to building and soldering them. Bear in mind this was my first attempt ever at soldering, so I did botch one of the keys.

Navi10 macro pad kit [x2]
As you can see above, my soldering skills are absolutely awful. Thankfully the finished board has plates on each side, so the soldering is not visible.
I built two of them, and played around with some cherry MX silent red switches (soldered 10 to each board) and a few keycaps and test switches of each colour.
The finished macropad has LEDs, but the board has to be programmed to actually work with a computer. I have yet to get around to do this. My aim for these pads was obviously for gaming, aside from the obvious aesthetics [they look great on the desk].
