After the massive success of The Key Macropad, we are excited to announce V2! If you are looking for more info on V1, check out this overview from last time.
Not only is The Key back, it's also improved based on customer feedback. The Key V2 features an acrylic case to show off the RGB LEDs and a hot-swap PCB for easier customization.
If the last run of The Key is any indication, you'll want to act fast on this one - quantities are limited to 4,900 this time around.

Great! That is exactly what I need. Could you guys also make a 1 percent keyboard? So I can spam f faster in the chat.

Has anyone had issues with using USB-C to USB-C, as opposed to the included USB-C to USB-A cable? Not sure if it's a power issue or something else.

If anyone's interested, I made a tutorial to use V2 as a Windows notification indicator

Did anyone buy both v1 and v2? Are there major hardware differences besides the hotswap sockets and the translucent case? I mentioned I have the v1 which I managed to modify to get my LEDs working. You cannot see the RGB LEDs in this photo and I used soldering to change my switches since v1 is not hotswapable.

Can anyone help me change the LED colors on this? I’ve opened the file in the configurator and don’t see any settings for LED colors. Thank you!

This is great!! For anyone who prefers a programmatic way to control the lights, here is an example (mostly repackaged from Vial's codebase) - imagine using the LEDs as a notification center.

Have you figured it out yet? I have done some searching and can't find anything.

Does not seem practical to have just 3 keys to unnecessarily occupy a USB port. I own multiple custom keebs, artisan keycaps, cables etc, and I find this device pointless.

It'll be the same as existing guides for setting up macros in QMK. You would have to create a different macro for each application's respective mute shortcut. Alternatively you can use something like voicemeeter to control your microphone input across your whole system, and make a macro in QMK for voicemeeter's (or whatever audio input program you choose) mute shortcut. If youre on mac there is an OS mute that can be accessed by a macro.

YES! Purchased it right away. I missed the V1 round, but looking at the improvements, I’m kinda glad I did. This is a silly little device of course, but it’s fun. We need more fun in our lives :D

This is the easiest possible thing to program in qmk, and you can use the qmk keymap compiler. I promise its worth learning, the possibilities are endless when you know how to use qmk.
