+
+![GPAD8-2R](https://i.imgur.com/jAaO7gYh.png)
+
+8 Keys Custom Macro Pad, 2 Encoders, with USB Type-C, RGB underglow, RGB Per Key Lighting. 
+
+* Keyboard Maintainer: [gkeyboard](https://github.com/gkeyboard)
+* Hardware Supported: GPAD8-2R PCB
+* Hardware Availability: http://www.mltelectronic.com
+
+Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
+
+    make gkeyboard/gpad8_2r:default
+
+Flashing example for this keyboard:
+
+    make gkeyboard/gpad8_2r:default:flash
+
+See the [build environment setup](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_build_tools) and the [make instructions](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_make_guide) for more information. Brand new to QMK? Start with our [Complete Newbs Guide](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/newbs).
+
+## Bootloader
+
+Enter the bootloader in 3 ways:
+
+* **Bootmagic reset**: Hold down the key at (0,0) in the matrix (usually the top left key or Escape) and plug in the keyboard
+* **Physical reset button**: Briefly press the button on the back of the PCB - some may have pads you must short instead
+* **Keycode in layout**: Press the key mapped to `QK_BOOT` if it is available
