3x3 Macropad Wiring Guide

flux

Yes - you can turn it into a 6-key macropad arranged 2 wide by 3 long, so the key matrix would become 2 columns × 3 rows.
A few practical notes:
  • You would reduce the matrix from the current larger layout down to 6 switch positions
  • The row/column wiring would be reassigned to 3 rows and 2 columns
  • Any extra key positions, lighting assignments, and layout/plate geometry would also need to be updated to match
  • In Flux, that kind of change is a multi-step project modification, which is handled as a coordinated edit/plan workflow rather than a single one-click change
Because this project is owned by flux and you don’t have edit access in the current document, you can’t modify this exact project in place from here. The easiest path is to start your own copy/new project and make the 2 × 3 version there.
Here’s a ready-to-use project link:

If you want, I can also help you define the exact:
  • 2 × 3 key matrix mapping
  • physical spacing/layout
  • whether to keep one or both rotary encoders

can you add 2 more keys to the row that has space not in the row of h poteniometeres or slide

flux

Yes — but not directly in this published project, because you don’t have edit access here. Since you want to explore a variation of the existing design, the right move is to fork it and make the changes in your own copy; fork is specifically the right choice when you want to branch an existing project without affecting the original, and the prompt in the link needs to be fully URL-encoded
Here’s a fork link set up for your change:
Fork this into an 8-key version
If you want, I can also help you decide whether those 2 added keys should make the pad:
  • 4 x 2
  • 2 x 4
  • or an offset/custom layout based on the empty space.
