Hydaelyn USB-Button + Sticker + USB-C Cable
This awesome button is a very DIY project. Don't get me wrong I tested it on multiple windows machines and it works great so far. But I'm making this with very limited knowledge and only putting it on here cause so many people liked it? changing the key requires you to edit code and recompile it onto the board with 3rd party software. The case is snap-locked so no glue. You can even keep on improving this item DIY style with LEDs for example.
Average production time 1-4 weeks depending on material deliveries.
Well to be specific:
- 3D printed casing made from PETG only
- Arduino based chip
- Cherry MX Blue style switch supported with 3 simple metal springs
- Comes with USB-C Cable in 2m length
- Arduino 1.8.5 -> Arduino leonardo compatible (no drivers win 10 +)
- Comes with "Hydaelyn take the wheel" sticker (partially holographic foil background)
Dimensions:
-Crystal 17x8,3x3,2 cm roughly
-Sticker 7,3 x 5 cm
How it works:
Inside the case is a cherry mx blue switch that is directly soldered to a small Arduino board. The code on that board uses the Keyboard.h library to communicate with the PC and once the button is pressed it sends a specified (in the code) Keystroke to the PC
STANDARD KEY IS "CTRL+L".
SHOULD YOU WANT A DIFFERENT ONE PUT IT IN THE ORDERCOMMENTS / E-MAIL ME AFTER THE ORDER AND I WILL CUSTOMIZE.
CHANGING THE SIMULATED BUTTON REQUIRES YOU TO RE-COMPILE THE CODE ONTO THE BOARD

This item is supposed to be used as an external macrokeyboard. Don't use when wet, handle with care. Only use with good quality USB-C Cable to ensure functionality.
