Getting Started:
The NoodlePad & The Udon:13 Keypads
Where To Start?
So you got your new Mad Noodle Keypad and don't know where to start?
​
Step 1:
Assemble Your Keypad
Follow the guide, to attach your baseplate and keyplates with the included hardware kit.
Step 2:
Choose Your Firmware Option
Easy: Vial (BETA)
For new users or users looking for an overall simpler and quicker programming experience, Vial is simple desktop software for remapping your keypad via an easy-to-use GUI.
​
Select the "Vial" Button below and follow the guide for installation.
​
Advanced: QMK
For users who are familiar with, or are looking to learn QMK
Select the "QMK" button below and follow the guide on our Github to get started.
Please note: The QMK Configurator is not currently compatible with Rotary encoders, so Keymaps must be written and compiled manually (AKA the old fashioned way).
If you have an older generation keypad (I.E. Noodlepadv1/NCCv2) follow THIS guide
Step 3:
Customize
Regardless of what firmware path you take, you should familiarize yourself with the plethora of KEYCODEs QMK and Vial use.
​
Everything from typing a basic letter to controlling your RGBs or switching layers all have their own special keycode that can be mapped to your keypad to customize its functionality.
