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 is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, usually referring to an LED that can mix those three colours. It matters because controlling an RGB LED teaches how separate outputs combine to create different colours.
- RP2040
- A microcontroller chip used on many maker boards, with enough speed and flexible I/O for some camera and display projects. Compatibility with RP2040 matters because camera modules often need many pins and careful timing to read image data successfully.
- USB Type-C
- A reversible USB connector used for power and data on many modern devices. On this kit it indicates an alternate 5V power input, which may be useful for setup or charging without the solar panel.
- USB-C
- A modern reversible USB connector used for power and data connections. On this product it matters because it can connect directly to a computer as well as to a microcontroller project.
