“I'm adding the keypad base to Raspberry Pi Pico kits I'm putting together for our Toys for Tots Christmas donations later this year. I'm sure the recipients, not tots but 12-and-up girls and boys, will love these colorful keypads and hopefully begin a lifetime of adventures in technology.”
“This keypad is way cooler than I expected, the tutorials online are very user-friendly too and I was able to set this up as a drumpad in Ableton within 10 mins. I highly recommend this product if you're looking to get into circuitpython or generally just want a new project!”
“Been having a blast with this keypad (and Kevin McAleer's PiDeck project).
It was easy to assemble. The LEDs are bright and colourful. My only regret is that my 3D printer is too small to print a properly sized enclosure for this board.
Would absolutely buy this again (and probably will as soon as someone in my family expresses even the slightest bit of interest in having their own PiDeck).”
“Love it - it's a cool device. If there were any improvements, it would be to have one with RGB plus tactile buttons, and I had some issues with threads and nuts not quite staying on.
In terms of code - it's easy to get HID keyboard stuff running in Adafruit Circuitpython, so it may make sense to recommend that on the detail pages.”
