Dan Hollick shared his Creator Micro setup (with a beautiful illustration, of course!), and there are some good ideas in replies as well. I also shared my setup on Twitter.

Using it for a few weeks made me dream of eink key caps that can be updated based on the current mode. I find it hard to remember what keys do across four modes, so I rarely switch them. Elgato Stream Deck might be the answer, but I’m not a big fan of the look.

Marisa unpacks and shows how to set up the keypad.

An older but very detailed video on setting up and configuring Creator Micro.

This ​“official” preset comes pre-installed on the Figma Creator Micro.

A useful Figma community file if you want to map out the layout before setting it up.

Figma sent a sample of its Creator Micro keypad to an Ars Technica reporter: ​“OK, it’s fun, I’m saying. It’s fun to have a little box for little computer tasks, rather than efficiently doing them all through one slab you must memorize under pain of being considered unoptimized. Sometimes I just twirl the volume knob up and down, with nothing playing, because it’s fun to twirl a knob.”

I wonder what that button on Jordan’s micro keyboard does?
