Macro Keypad

Default Image Overlay Image

Macro Keypads are great for repetitive tasks. With programs like Auto Hotkey, the customizability options are extensive. Personally, I use it for populating forms with AHK’s GUI feature.

This Macro Keypad I made includes a custom PCB, 3D-Printed Case (PETG), headphone charging compartment, and hot-swappable switch sockets. It runs on an ATMega32 (Arduino ProMicro).

//Example for COPY (CTRL + C)

#include <Keyboard.h>
#include <Mouse.h>

bool copy = true;

void setup()
{
    pinMode(2, INPUT);
    Serial.begin(9600);
}    

void loop()
{
  copy = digitalRead(2);
  if (copy==false)
  {
    Keyboard.press(KEY_LEFT_CTRL);
    Keyboard.press('c');
    Keyboard.releaseAll();                       
      while (copy == false){
      copy = digitalRead(3);
      }
    delay(10);
  }
}
