A custom macropad device that imitates keyboard keys and shortcut combinations.
Built with a Raspberry Pi Pico, mechanical keyboard switches, diodes, and 3D printed parts, this macropad allows users to assign custom shortcuts to execute commands across various applications.
Why build a Macropad?
Devices like this are widely used by streamers, editors, and digital artists. Having dedicated hardware for shortcuts speeds up workflow and removes the need to memorize complex keybindings.
Software & Tech Stack
Powered by CircuitPython, it offers a much more convenient development setup than C++. Programming the board is as simple as saving a Python script to a USB drive.
