Kit Content

The Reviung 5 is a tiny 4–5 key macropad driven by a Pro Micro controller. It uses hand-soldered switches with leaded (through-hole) diodes, and has optional support for per-key RGB underglow and a rotary encoder — so you can build it as plainly or as fully-featured as you like.

Here's a list of parts needed for the build:

• 1 x Reviung 5 Keyboard Kit

  Kit Includes:

  • 1 x Reviung 5 PCB
  • 1 x Top Plate (acrylic)
  • 1 x Bottom Plate (acrylic)
  • 1 x Pro Micro Protection Plate (acrylic)
  • 3 x Acrylic Spacers
  • 3 x Metal Spacers
  • 3 x M2 Screws (long, for the top/bottom plates)
  • 6 x M2 Screws (short, for the protection plate)
  • 3 x M2 Nuts
  • 4 x Rubber Feet
  • 5 x 1N4148 Diodes
  • 1 x Tactile Reset Switch

Not included in the kit but required to complete:

• 1 x Pro Micro Controller
• 2 x Conthrough Spring-Pin Headers (12-pin) — used to socket the Pro Micro
• 4–5 x MX-style Switches
• 4–5 x 1U Keycaps for MX Switches
• 1 x Micro-USB Cable

Optional (not included):

• Up to 4 x WS2812B RGB LEDs (per-key lighting)
• 1 x Rotary Encoder (Alps EC12-compatible) + 1 x 1N4148W SMD diode

Tools required:

• Soldering iron and solder (Kester 63/37 .031" leaded solder recommended)
• Phillips head screwdriver
• Flush side cutters (diagonal cutters)
• Tweezers (needed if fitting the optional SMD LEDs)

Recommended (not included):

• No-clean flux paste (highly recommended if you fit the optional LEDs)
• Solder wick (to remove solder bridges if they occur)
• Isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth (to clean flux residue)
