From the project

A 3-key mechanical macropad built for Hack Club's Hackpad program. Powered by a Seeed XIAO RP2040 and running KMK firmware. ## Overview

A 3-key mechanical macropad built for Hack Club's Hackpad program. Powered by a Seeed XIAO RP2040 and running KMK firmware. ## Overview

A simple, no-frills 3-key macropad. Each switch is wired directly to a GPIO pin on the XIAO (no diode matrix needed at this key count), and the whole thing is powered and programmed over the XIAO's onboard USB-C — no battery or charging circuit.
