MonkiiPad20
Our most ambitious macropad yet, with 20 keys and a built in OLED screen. It runs the same open source sandwich construction you can take apart and rebuild whenever the mood strikes.

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.

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.

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.

Two plates. One matrix.
That is a MonkiiBoard.
Every board we make is a sandwich. A 3D printed top plate, a 3D printed bottom plate, and the whole key matrix pressed in between. That one idea is what keeps our keyboards cheap to build, tough enough for daily abuse, and simple enough to take apart on a kitchen table. Wire the matrix by hand or drop in one of our printed boards, whichever you prefer.
Every plate file, PCB design, and firmware sketch lives on GitHub, free to download and free to change. Redraw the whole thing and make it unmistakably yours.
Built by hand,
built to last.
Whether the matrix is handwired or sitting on one of our printed boards, it gets pressed between two light 3D printed PLA plates. The switches mount on top while the MCU and diodes sit in the middle, fully exposed, fully repairable, and completely yours.
We design every plate in OnShape and build it by hand. Each board costs a fraction of what a traditional keyboard runs, and it never trades away durability or feel to get there.
Handwired or PCB
Wire every switch by hand for the lowest cost and the clearest view of how a keyboard works, or print one of our boards and skip straight to soldering.
Arduino Firmware
We program the MCUs straight in the Arduino IDE, whether that is a Pro Micro ATmega32U4 or an RP2040 Zero. No framework lock in, full control from the first boot.
Open Source
Every plate file, wiring diagram, and piece of firmware is free, always. Build it, change it, make it better. That is the whole point.
Honest hardware,
no overclaiming.
We are an open source hobby project, not a high end manufacturer. Our boards are not chasing competitive 1ms specs. They are built to be dependable, repairable, and genuinely good to use every day. Here is what that means in practice.
~5ms
Scan Rate
Snappy enough for daily typing and gaming.
Wire or PCB
Build
Handwire the matrix yourself, or print one of our boards.
Arduino
Firmware
Fully open. Remap keys, layers, and macros.
Soldered
Switches
Not hot-swap. Changing switches needs a soldering station (recommended).
Universal
OS Support
Windows, macOS & Linux. Plug-and-play USB.
Low Cost
Pricing
A fraction of comparable retail keyboards.
