We were inspired by single-key macro pads we've seen. So we thought, hey what if we made something like that that plugs right into your computer's USB port, with a fully programmable color NeoPixel? And this is what we came up with!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck out all of our Cherry MX compatible keys, caps, boards and more!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PCB is designed to slip into any USB A port on a computer or laptop. There's an ATSAMD21 microcontroller on board with just enough circuitry to keep it happy. One pin of the microcontroller connects to a Cherry MX-compatible switch. Another connects to a NeoPixel LED. The third pin can be used as a capacitive touch input. A reset button lets you enter bootloader mode if necessary. That's it!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SAMD21 can run CircuitPython or Arduino very nicely - with existing NeoPixel and our FreeTouch libraries for the capacitive touch input. Over the USB connection you can have serial, MIDI or HID connectivity. The NeoKey Trinkey is perfect for simple projects that can use a few user inputs and colorful output. Maybe you'll set it up as a macro-controller, or a password-enterer, or an Escape key for your MacBook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note this board DOES NOT come with a key soldered in - we expect folks to pick their favorite MX-compatible key switch and key cap! Two solder points and you're done.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe think it's just an adorable little board, small and durable and inexpensive enough that it could be a first microcontroller board, or inspiration for advanced developers to make something simple and fun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eATSAMD21E18 32-bit Cortex M0+ - 48 MHz 32 bit processor with 256KB Flash and 32 KB RAM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNative USB supported by every OS - can be used in\u003cstrong\u003e Arduino or CircuitPython \u003c\/strong\u003eas USB serial console, MIDI, Keyboard\/Mouse HID, even a little disk drive for storing Python scripts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be used with Arduino IDE or CircuitPython\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle reverse-mount RGB NeoPixel LED\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne Capacitive Touch pad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCherry-MX compatible footprint can be used by nearly any mechanical switch.
