Brian Lough | The Simplest DIY Macro Keypad with Arduino @BrianLough | Uploaded September 2019 | Updated October 2024, 5 days ago.
In this video we will take a look at the simplest DIY macro Keypad you can build with an Arduino. I use this for controlling OBS, but I also show in this video how it could be used for making a macro keypad for other shortcuts like copy and pasting or how to use it as a quick keyboard for games.
This project should only take 5 minutes and costs less than $5 delivered for the parts.
Did I mention it was simple?!
