We plan to continue manufacturing ANAVI Macro Pad 8 as well as our other open source mechanical keyboards like the new ANAVI Macro Pad 8 and ANAVI Arrows for the years to come. ANAVI Macro Pad 12 is equipped with Kailh hot-swappable sockets for mechanical switches, expertly designed for surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly. By incorporating yellow SMT LEDs for backlighting instead of the traditional 3 mm THT LEDs used in ANAVI Macro Pad 8, we eliminated manual soldering of switches and LEDs, streamlining the manufacturing process to reduce costs. This revolutionary feature also empowers users to effortlessly swap different Cherry MX compatible mechanical switches on the fly, unlocking a world of possibilities to try blue, green, brown, or any other compatible switch!
