It&rsquo;s a compact six-key macro pad built around a <a href="https://amzn.to/4n8SxOn">Raspberry Pi Pico</a>. Omer let me raid his supplies, and found me some blue switches, and some interesting purple keycaps which have room for little print out lables.</p> <figure> <img src="https://www.martinellis.me/posts/2026/05/building-the-emailkb-macro-keyboard/images/PXL_20260502_122849358.jpg" alt="Purple emailkb PCB back on a blue surface showing the silkscreen text &#39;we keep going until we die&#39;, with a gold header pin strip and bare Raspberry Pi Pico laid beside it, ready for assembly."><figcaption> <p>The kit laid out before assembly</p>
