Raspberry Pi Pico RGB Macropad - DIY Keypad By Pimoroni

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

I've always wanted a macropad so here is my first attempt at putting together a DIY macropad on the raspberry pico and testing to see how much I like them and if I'll get the use out of it. I've set up the keypad for my own custom macros and shortcut keys for my most used programs.
