A programmable 3-key macro keyboard powered by the RP2040 microcontroller. Out of the box, the keys are mapped to Ctrl, C, and V — the essential copy-paste combo for programmers — but all three keys can be reprogrammed for any shortcut or macro you need.
Built with hot-swappable mechanical switches (dustproof blue switches included), dual USB-C ports for flexible connectivity, and per-key RGB LED backlighting. The RP2040's dual-core ARM Cortex-M0+ processor running at up to 133 MHz gives you plenty of power for custom firmware and advanced key mapping.
Key Features
- RP2040 Microcontroller – Dual-core ARM Cortex-M0+ at up to 133 MHz, designed by Raspberry Pi
- Fully Programmable – Default Ctrl/C/V mapping; customise all three keys to any function or macro
- Hot-Swappable Switches – Easily swap mechanical switches without soldering
- Dual USB-C Ports – Two Type-C connectors for flexible plug-and-play connection (driver-free)
- Per-Key RGB LEDs – Customisable backlight colours on each key
- Blue Mechanical Switches – Dustproof design with tactile feedback and audible click

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, the three primary colours of light that are mixed in varying amounts to make a wide range of colours. In electronics RGB can refer to an LED or pixel that blends these three colours, or to a colour signal or interface that carries separate red, green and blue channels.
- RP2040
- The RP2040 is a dual-core Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontroller chip from Raspberry Pi, used on many maker boards and offering programmable I/O, multiple GPIO pins and reasonable processing speed. Code and accessories built for that chip should work where RP2040 compatibility is listed, though demanding tasks such as reading a camera can require careful pin allocation and timing.
- Type-C
- USB Type-C (USB-C) is a small, reversible USB connector used for charging, power, and data transfer on many modern devices. A Type-C port or plug indicates the cable and charger connection needed to power, charge, or communicate with a device.
- USB Type-C
- USB Type-C is a small, reversible USB connector used for power, data and sometimes video on many modern devices. The connector itself does not guarantee a particular speed or voltage, so check the supported USB version, data rate and whether it carries more than 5V via USB Power Delivery.
- USB-C
- USB-C is a small, reversible USB connector that can carry power, data and, on some devices, video over a single cable. The same connector can range from charging only to high-speed data, so the functions a given port actually supports vary.
