RP2040 CyberDeck

by Juan R. Ortiz · Medium · manifest draft — being verified

A pocket-size RP2040 controller deck with a CardKB keyboard, analog joystick and programmable macro buttons on a custom PCB inside a printable shell.

Juan R. Ortiz’s prototype turns a SparkFun Pro Micro RP2040 into a compact programmable input deck. The firmware reads an M5Stack CardKB over I2C, handles a joystick and maps custom buttons to macros, while the repository supplies KiCad files, Gerbers and printable enclosure parts for builders refining the prototype.

Notes

Official README, firmware tree, KiCad project, Gerbers, prototype image and CAD/STL index checked at commit 0a59283a1818e07093078d8c74f69b2a26d13906 on 2026-10-27. Kept as draft because the joystick model, macro-button count and switch footprint are not specified, the CardKB revision is unstated, the PCB repository includes a DRC report, and no license is declared for the design or printable files.
