Open-source, low-cost Stream Deck alternative built on the RP2040 (MicroPython). Features a TCA9548A I²C multiplexer driving 6 OLED displays for dynamic key icons, USB HID macro execution, and a fully custom KiCad PCB with zero-violation ERC. An affordable, hackable input handler for streamers, devs, and productivity workflows.
Programmable Input Handler — a DIY, fully customizable macro keypad and Stream Deck alternative, designed as a low-cost, open-source answer to expensive commercial input devices. Built around an RP2040 microcontroller running MicroPython, the device uses a TCA9548A I²C multiplexer to drive 6 independent OLED displays, giving each key a dynamic, reprogrammable icon. It acts as a USB HID device, sending keyboard shortcuts and macros to trigger actions in tools like OBS Studio, VS Code, and Spotify.

Questions
How big is the PID PCB?
It measures 100.1 × 81.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the PID use?
20 parts, built around the RP2040. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the PID KiCad files?
From the ChiragCS-08/diy_stream_deck repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/PID.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/PID.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the PID design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ChiragCS-08 before reusing the design.
