MacroKeyboard Project

A simple custom macro keyboard built to trigger shortcuts, automate tasks, and speed up everyday workflows.

This project is a compact macro keyboard using a microcontroller (like ESP32) and programmable buttons to send custom key inputs to a computer. It can be used for productivity, gaming, or creative workflows.

Features Custom programmable keys Supports keyboard shortcuts/macros Compact and portable design Easy to modify and expand Can be used with different layouts

Hardware Used ESP32 / microcontroller Mechanical switches / buttons PCB OLED .96 in screen Optional: enclosure (3D printed or case) How It Works

Each button is mapped to a specific function. When pressed, the microcontroller sends a signal to the computer (via USB) that acts like a keyboard input.

Example:

Button 1 → Copy (Ctrl + C) Button 2 → Paste (Ctrl + V) Button 3 → Open app Setup Clone the repository Upload code to the microcontroller Connect via USB Customize key mappings in code Project Structure /code → firmware and logic /pcb → PCB design files /cad → enclosure / case design /bom → bill of materials Future Improvements Rotary encoder support OLED display Wireless (Bluetooth) control Custom software interface

Questions

How big is the PcbProject2 PCB?

It measures 62 × 49 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the PcbProject2 use?

5 parts. 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 PcbProject2 KiCad files?

From the KrishPatil512/MacroPad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/pcbProject2.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/pcbProject2.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the PcbProject2 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
