The SNES Macropad is, as it sounds, a macropad that features a SNES connector. In addition it has a qwiic connector and a 3.5mm jack for 3.3V I2C (not audio), allowing additional expansion.

This QMK implementation exposes the SNES controller as a part of the keyboard, meaning you can map the controller to do anything a qmk keyboard can. The layout is thus a 4x6 keyboard logically, split with the 3 first rows being on the macro pad and the 3 following being buttons on the snes controller.

  • Keyboard Maintainer: JBarberU
  • Hardware Supported: SNES Macropad Rev 1, with a Raspberry Pi Pico Lite (AliExpress clone of Raspberry Pico with fewer grounds and all GPIO's exposed on the headers)
  • Hardware Availability: The SNES Macro pad can be found here either as a kit, partially built or fully built.

Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):

make snes_macropad:default

Flashing example for this keyboard:

make snes_macropad:default:flash

Bootloader

Enter the bootloader in 3 ways:

  • Physical bootsel button: Hold down the bootsel button on the RPi Pico while plugging in the keyboard, or while pressing the reset button
  • Physical reset button: Quickly double press the reset button
  • Keycode in layout: Press the key mapped to QK_BOOT if it is available
