1313I built this macro keyboard because I was spending way too much time with
14- repetitive keystrokes, it was too difficult and even annoying to not have media
15- control keys on my keyboard, the ones in the market were way too expensive
14+ repetitive keystrokes, I also needed a quick way to trigger media functions without
15+ needing to switch windows. The ones in the market were way too expensive
1616and finally, after looking up many designs of people who've built their own
17- macro keyboards and finding only a few with a display, but none of them met my
18- criteria, and I knew I had to build my own.

2020I decided to implement an OLED display that's compact and instead of a diode-resistor
2121configuration I've decided to go with a shift register instead, simply because
2222the complexity of the PCB is brought way down with fewer components to fail
2323and its a lot easier to replace a socketed dip-16 IC than it is to desolder
24- a diode and the number of pins I save using a shift register allows for future
