“It's promising ...
Looks and feels great, but it's proving to be a bit more tricky to use than I'd expected. I'd wanted to use it as a blinky colourful macro keypad, but the Pimironi example Micropython code doesn't have USB HID drivers for it. I've had some success with CircuitPython, but having issues getting the LEDs working as I'd like. It's so nearly excellent, just lacking software support at the moment.”
“This was a great device that I have used for a HID. Micropython lacks the HID support so I had to use circuitpython, which meant writing a custom library which was a little frustrating. However, this was no fault of Pimoroni.
Overall I really love this product.”
“Base PCB seems quite well made, no issues with the fit of the parts or the Pico though the bolts that hold the bezel on are quite fiddly and the head didn't fit any of the (many) screwdriver tips I tried very well. No real complaints though, just works. The buttons themselves do not feel as positive as similar ones on a commercial device I have but that isn't an issue, just a difference.”
