MACROLINK
MACROPAD / 002 — SPECIFICATIONS
What's inside the macropad.
A custom PCB, a full Raspberry Pi Pico, mechanical switches and a 3D-printed shell — no protoboards, no shortcuts. Here's exactly what you're getting.

Microcontroller
Raspberry Pi Pico — the full module, not a bare RP2040 chip.
Firmware
CircuitPython 9 + KMK library, pre-flashed and ready to use out of the box. The desktop software is separate — downloaded with your unique code from the Download page.
Communication
USB serial, over a second CDC port.
Keys
12 keys, 4×3 scanning matrix.
Encoders
2 rotary encoders — "Volume" and "Scroll" in the default layout — each with a click button and an aluminum knob.
LEDs
4× individual WS2812 NeoPixels, not a strip. Breathe, pulse and rainbow effects. The underglow look comes from the translucent PETG bottom panel — no separate diffuser.
PCB
Custom-designed board, not a protoboard.

Shell
3D-printed PETG, matte finish. Available in black or white.
Keycaps
ABS, color-matched to the shell — black keycaps on the black shell, white on white.
Switches
Mechanical, blue-style (clicky).
Connector
USB-C, cable included.
Power
USB only — no battery.
Dimensions
88 mm × 98 mm × 37 mm (width × length × max height).
The hardware is half the story.
Software
overview
overview
Every key and encoder is configured from a desktop app — React 18 + Vite inside a Tauri 2 shell, Windows only. It talks to the macropad over USB serial, no cloud account required.

Macro
The app checks for updates on its own and installs them silently in the background — a quiet banner, never a popup that gets in your way.
