This saves assembly time, and also reduces the build difficulty - The TIDBIT has more programmable keys than a standard 12-key numpad, and allows for multiple layouts - All required parts (diodes, caps, and ICs) are through-hole, meaning they're easy and forgiving to solder - 8x optional bottom-mounted SMT LEDs shine nicely through the acrylic support material. RGB underglow is supported natively in QMK, allowing for easy programming and configuration ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Keyboard Layout | QWERTY | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Button Quantity | 19 | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Number of Sections | 19 | | Mechanical Keyboard Switch Model | Cherry MX | | Is Electric | No | | Keyboard Backlighting Color Support | RGB | | Power Source | DC power supply | | Connectivity Technology | usb | | Special Features | Programmable Keys, Multiple Layouts, RGB Underglow | | Number of Keys | 19 | | Style | Modern | | Theme | Mechanical Keyboards | | Color | Black | | Material | Acrylic | ## Product Details - **Brand:** nullbits - **Compatible Devices:** PC - **Connectivity Technology:** usb - **Keyboard Description:** Mechanical, Multi Functional - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Office - **Special Feature:** Programmable Keys, Multiple Layouts, RGB Underglow - **Color:** Black - **Number of Keys:** 19 - **Keyboard backlighting color support:** RGB - **Style:** Modern ## Images ![Tidbit 19 Key Programmable QMK Mechanical Numpad Kit (Black) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Vq0ZOZCoL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this hot swappable?** A: You can solder with optional mill-max 0305, 7305, or 3305 sockets (sold separately) to make it hotswap! You’ll also want the optional FR4 plate if you go that route in order to keep the switches stable. **Q: Will this kit come with a usb\bootloader module?** A: No, you have to purchase the Bit-C module separately, can be found from the same seller. **Q: Where do you find info to add an oled screen?** A: There is some info on the OLED screen in the getting started guide, available on the website. One diagram specifically outlines where it's located. There is an 'oled' keymap available on our github that automatically enables the LED that you can test with. Finally, we offer a compatible SSD1306 OLED, if you don't already have one you're planning on using: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08KL8YKVW **Q: what comes with this kit? I know the bit-c module is seperate but does it come with a rotary encoder? And where can I get extra rotary encoders for it** A: From the product description: "Rotary encoder, WS2812 underglow, and expansion jack are all included with the kit." If you want more encoders, search up EC11 Rotary Encoders. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun to build, and versatile. *by P***P on March 29, 2022* I'm really enjoying my Tidbit so far. So you understand where I'm coming from, and why I gave it five stars, let me tell you my expectations and desires:1. I wanted something DIY and flexible. I enjoy soldering and customizing things.2. I wanted to be able to get it up and running quickly.3. I wanted to be able to customize and program it as much as I wanted later.4. I wanted a bunch of rotary encoders.5. I wanted something that looked and felt nice.This keypad absolutely fulfilled my expectations, and then some. Some of the higlights:1. It was fun to build.2. The boards are beautiful, well laid out, and come in both black and white colorways.3. The acrylic pieces are a nice compliment, and by the end you have a weighty, sturdy feeling keypad that has a very attractive tech-y finish.4. It's available in the online QMK configurator, so you can quickly get a custom layout working. It took me about 20 minutes once the board was assemboled.5. The instructions from Nullbits are fantastic, and very easy to follow if you're slightly technical.6. It's made me more productive. I have a numpad on my main keyboard, but I wanted dedicated buttons for certain keys and combinations. This works exactly as I intended. I look forward to trying out the more advanced features of QMK and really powering this up.Now, just a few downsides/nitpicks that I had:1. I didn't read the instructions completely before purchasing, and I didn't realize that if you want to use all 4 rotary encoder spots, you have to lose both the OLED display AND the TRRS jack. Each of them share lines with a rotary encoder, so you're stuck with only 2 if you want to use both of those. I was ok without them, so it ended up fine for me, but be warned.2. The M2x3 screws used for securing the top and bottom plates to the standoffs are just a bit too long. I had to file down some of the screws in order to get a solid, tight fit.3. Not a con, just something to be aware of: I purchased additional rotary encoders off of Digikey, and while I made sure the pin layout and spacing was the same as the official encoder kit (CTS 290VAA5F201B1 encoders, vs the stock TT Electronics EN11-HSB1AF15), I did not realize the "clips" on the sides of the encoder were slightly larger than stock, so had to file them down slightly.4. Another thing of note, which wasn't apparent when I bought the kit: if you're using hot-swap sockets from Mill-max, you should also get the FR4 plate. The switches definitely aren't solid without it.5. Make sure to fully price out your build. The kit is pretty cheap, all of the components (encoders, knobs, switches, keycaps, etc.) are not when put together.6. Again, not really a con, but it doesn't come with rubber feet, so grab some of your favorite sticky feet for this.7. Lastly, and again, not a con, get a pair of tweezers to help position the more fiddly surface mount components. There are only a few, but it will help.For anyone who it might help, here are some additional components I used with the kit that worked well for me:1. 40x 3305-1-15-15-47-27-10-0 MIll-max sockets2. 4x CTS 290VAA5F201B1 rotary encoders (smooth, no detent, with switch)3. 3x OEJNI-63-4-7 Kilo International knobs (the kit comes with one of these already)4. 1x FR4 plate from Nullbits5. 1x Bit-C controller from NullbitsOverally, I'm really satisfied with this, and it's an excellent productivity tool so far. I look forward to getting many years of use out of it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ a great kit! *by P***A on January 28, 2021* Amazing numpad kit!! lots of layout options and straight forward to put together with easy to follow assembly instructions. I was a bit nervous as it was my first time soldering, but the thru hole components made it easy. Had a friend do the optional LEDs for me as they were surface-mount and a little too fiddly for a soldering newbie. Got a good bit of practice and a great numpad out of this experienceA couple notes: 1. The kit included header pins for the pro micro/bit-c which was great. 2. If you're like me and are just starting down this road - you may not have a diode bending tool. Did not know this was a thing until I got to step 3 in the assembly instructions. I wanted uniform placement, but didn't want to pause building - I happened to have a pencil lead container that was the right size (~7mm) to bend the leads around which worked okay! But get/print the tool if it's important to you... plus you'll need one for when you build your Nibble right? :) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You should know what you're buying, this is nothing less than a 5 Star Product *by B***N on August 29, 2024* All Nullbits Kits are entry level, build / solder it yourself kits. For those who previously made reviews talking about the "software / firmware" and deducted stars.....QMK is the easiest it can possibly get and you literally do not need to do anything other than install the PRE-MADE firmware on your Pro - Micro / RP2040 etc for your device.Nullbits has a discord full of write ups and helpful users.Nullbits has a Github with every firmware file imaginable.You use "QMK Toolbox" to install the firmware. This takes 1-2 minutes at most, literally.All kits are supported by VIA, an in-app / in-browser way of editing or changing what your keys do and to remap them if you want on-the-fly, no need to mess with firmwares or anything outlandish. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tidbit 19 Key Programmable QMK Mechanical Numpad Kit (Black) - BIT-C Pro Micro MCU w/USB-C & DFU bootloader (ATmega32U4, 5V/16MHz) (White) - nullbits Stacked Acrylic Case for Tidbit 19-Key Numpad Kit --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/233780571-tidbit-19-key-programmable-qmk-mechanical-numpad-kit-black](https://www.desertcart.is/products/233780571-tidbit-19-key-programmable-qmk-mechanical-numpad-kit-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
