The PyKey60 is available on the Tindie store if you are interested in getting one. Since all of the programming happens on the keyboard Python files, you can plug it into any computer and take your custom layouts wherever you go.
Python keypad layout software#
This keyboard is fully programmable via CiruitPython so there’s no software to install, just plug it in, change keymaps and start building macros.
Python keypad layout code#
Its Python code can be changed with any text editor and executed simultaneously, which makes it super easy to customize the keymap, add macros or add a new function.

It’s not just a keyboard but also a USB drive containing the firmware as CircuitPython files. It bundles in 264kB of SRAM, 30 multifunction GPIO pins (including a four channel 12-bit ADC), a heap of standard peripherals (I2C, SPI, UART, PWM, clocks, etc), and USB support. The RP2040 microcontroller is a dual core ARM Cortex M0+ running at up to 133Mhz.

The PCB was designed for use with PCB-mount stabilizers. Supports 0, 90, 180, and 270 degree rotations. Keypad layout is always left to right, top to bottom, beginning with key number 0 in the top left, and ending with key number 11 in the bottom right. The keys are hot-swap socketed and have an individual underglow RGB LED which can be turned on. Allows for rotating the MacroPad in 90 degree increments to four different positions and rotates the keypad layout and display orientation to match. The PyKey60 uses mechanical switches (Cherry MX type). The PyKey60 is a custom programmable mechanical keyboard with a standard ANSI 60% keyboard layout compatible with any cases made for the GH60.
