“Much to my wife's bemusement, I have set this up to act as an additional input for Elite Dangerous. She giggles at it, but is secretly jealous. Using a 1st gen Pi Zero (with GPIO pins added via a Hammer Header) this was very easy to assemble and configure. There are enough config examples to create your own if you are familiar with editing config files, and the documentation does a good job for those who are not.
The software is all held on the device, running a cut down Linux OS so small I'm using an old 128MB SD card. There's nothing to install on the computer you're plugging it into and it's designed to run from memory so there's no risk of file corruption when unplugged.
The 'clicky' version is indeed very clicky and feels pretty robust.”
“I bought the kit as a keyboard extension for my wife. The build was very good documented and easy to do. As stated in the shop description, all I had to add was a raspberry pi zero and an SD card. It required no electronics knowledge to assemble the kit. After configuring the keymap, the keypad works great. It takes about 5 to 10 seconds to boot, which is absolutely no issue.”
“Finally, I can mute my teams meeting by using this fancy little keyboard. Programming the device wasn't a hustle at all. Thanks for helping making my life easier.”
