From the project
Compact 5-key macropad with rotary encoder, RGB, and OLED - Hack Club Hackpad
Pokeyboardy is a compact 5-key macropad. It features five mechanical switches, a rotary encoder, RGB lighting, and support for a small OLED display, all powered by a Seeed Studio XIAO RP2040. The PCB, case, and knob were designed from scratch.
- 5x Cherry MX switches - 1x EC11 rotary encoder - 3x SK6812 mini RGB LEDs - Seeed XIAO controller - OLED header
Also needed: 5x DSA keycaps, 1x 0.91" 128x32 OLED, 6x M3 heatset inserts + bolts, 3D printed case + 2 acrylic plates.
