3-Key Macro Pad

MACRO PAD

This project was created as an affordable alternative to the popular Sayo Device while maintaining compatibility with the same software ecosystem. Whether you're using it for Geometry Dash, OBS controls, push-to-talk, media controls, CAD shortcuts, or custom macros, this device provides a simple and customizable solution.

BOM(Bill Of Materials):

Arduino Pro Micro (this is optional you can use any micro controller)

3x Red linear switches(you can use holographic keycaps for a better response time)

3x Keycaps(I just 3d printed mine)

Micro USB cable

Assembly

Solder the switches positive to the digital pins(I used D2, D3, and D4)

Solder all the Ground wires together, then Solder it to the boards gnd

Glue the Pro Micro to the place to hold it

Plug it in and enjoy

Code

The code is super simple just modify it to your liking and load it onto Arduino ide

/* 3-Key Macro Pad Easy editable Arduino IDE code

Works with boards that support USB Keyboard: - Arduino Leonardo - Arduino Micro - Pro Micro / ATmega32U4 - Some RP2040 boards with Keyboard support */
