NeoKey FeatherWing - Two Mechanical Key Switches with NeoPixels
We have ✅ 2 available of the AF-4979 in our Sydney warehouse. An extra 44 units available with a short lead time.
The NeoKey FeatherWing adds two mechanical key switch sockets with individually addressable NeoPixel backlighting to any Feather-format microcontroller. Each socket accepts Cherry MX or compatible switches (Kailh, Gateron, etc.) without soldering, using Kailh hot-swap sockets.
A reverse-mount NeoPixel sits beneath each switch, shining up through the switch housing. The two pixels are daisy-chained as a single 2-pixel NeoPixel strand for easy control. A STEMMA QT connector is included for solderless I2C connections to additional sensors and accessories.
