MonkiiPad20
20 keys + OLED — out now.
Honest hardware,
built in the open.
Built by hand,
built to last.
Currently, we use handwiring as our prototyping process — sandwiching a key matrix between two lightweight 3D-printed PLA plates. Switches mount on top, the MCU and diodes sit in between: fully exposed, fully repairable, entirely yours.
Designed in OnShape, built by hand. Every board costs a fraction of traditional keyboards without sacrificing durability or feel.
Handwired
Every switch is wired by hand — lower cost, easy repair, and complete transparency into how your keyboard actually works.
Arduino Firmware
MCUs programmed directly in the Arduino IDE. Pro Micro ATmega32U4, RP2040 Zero — no framework lock-in, full control from first boot.
Open Source
Every plate file, wiring diagram, and firmware is free — always. Build it, modify it, improve it. That is the whole point.

MonkiiPad20
Our most ambitious macropad yet — 20 keys and an integrated OLED screen. Built for productivity and expression with the same open-source sandwich construction you can take apart and rebuild yourself.

Model: MONKIIBOARD-39
Building the MonkiiBoard39
This guide walks you through every step of building the MonkiiBoard39 — from printing the plate to flashing firmware. No PCB needed. You'll handwire a 39-key matrix directly to a Pro Micro ATmega32U4, solder everything by hand, and end up with a fully custom keyboard built entirely by you.

Model: MONKIIPAD-3X3
Building the MonkiiPad3x3
The MonkiiPad3x3 is our most beginner-friendly build. Nine switches in a 3×3 grid, fully handwired to a Pro Micro ATmega32U4. No PCB needed — just solder, wire, and a 3D-printed plate. The result is a compact, fully programmable macropad you can put to work immediately.

Model: MONKIIPAD-20
Building the MonkiiPad20
The MonkiiPad20 steps up from our smaller pads — 20 handwired keys plus a 0.96" OLED screen, all driven by the RP2040 Zero. This guide takes you from a 3D-printed plate to a fully programmable macropad with a live display. No PCB required; just a diode matrix, an OLED, and Arduino firmware.

Honest hardware,
no overclaiming.
We're an open-source hobby project, not a high-end manufacturer. Our handwired boards aren't chasing competitive 1ms specs — they're built to be dependable, repairable, and genuinely good to use every day. Here's what that means in practice.
~5ms
Scan Rate
Snappy enough for daily typing and gaming.
