DIY INPUT HARDWARE

A keyboard for
things you build.

A compact 40-key typing peripheral made for cyberdecks, home-built devices, Arduino and ESP32 projects, and any build that needs real physical input without a full-size keyboard.

01 / BUILT TO EMBED

Put typing inside
your project.

core2key gives custom devices a real, compact keyboard without forcing your project around a full-size desktop peripheral. The keyboard MCU ships preloaded, while your Arduino, ESP32, or other project controller can be programmed around the inputs and behaviors your build needs.

01

40 × 8×8 mm soft switches for quiet, low-click operation

02

93.725 mm × 55.6 mm compact board footprint

03

PRO, GND, 3V3, SDA, and SCL connections exposed on-board

04

Keyboard MCU ships preloaded — no keyboard firmware flashing required to get started

02 / MADE FOR ONE-OFF HARDWARE

Not another desktop keyboard. A compact typing peripheral designed to become part of the build.

03 / YOUR CONTROLLER, YOUR BEHAVIOR

The keyboard MCU is already loaded.

Wire core2key into the project, then program the Arduino, ESP32, or controller in your build to decide what the inputs do. The board exposes PRO, GND, 3V3, SDA, and SCL connections.
