Pico RGB Keypad Base

The RGB Keypad Base ranks high in the Pimoroni 'desk items that impress' list. It gives your Pico a striking 4x4 silicone keypad, filled with addressable APA102 LEDs. You can light up each key in any color you like. It's on a stable base with rubber feet to keep it flat, and there's a clearly - labeled spot for your Pico. All Pico pins are accessible, making it easy to connect other hardware. Connect your Pico project to another computer via USB to create a great macro keypad or a neat synth controller. This base is also perfect for projects that need cool illuminated buttons, like a code - protected door lock, a mini disco floor for your fingers, or a Simon Says game to tease your friends. Note that a Raspberry Pi Pico is not included.

Using the RGB Keypad Base is easy. First, place your Pico on the handily - labeled landing area on the base. The base has rubber feet, so make sure it's on a flat surface to keep it stable. To make the most of it, connect your Pico project to another computer via USB. You can use it as a macro keypad or a synth controller. Each key on the 4x4 silicone keypad can be lit up in any color thanks to the addressable APA102 LEDs. You can get creative and set different colors for different functions. Since all Pico pins are broken out, you can connect other hardware as well. Just be careful when connecting to avoid any short - circuits. When it comes to maintenance, keep the keypad clean by gently wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Remember, the Raspberry Pi Pico is not included, so you'll need to provide your own.
