On my #RPiSecuritySystem — I started with a simple #Zigbee #keypad that could only send actions. I have later replaced it with a more advanced one, that can also receive states and supports RFID. (And looks much cooler) 🤓

I am working on a blog post to explain how it is integrated with my system.

It felt like I was missing something when using the 2-in-1 in tablet mode.

Bought this little programmable keypad. Once programmed it works on linux, macos and windows.

Now I can copy, paste, pan, zoom, ctrl, shift and alt while using #pixelorama or #aseprite . Works great and makes the experience so much better.

• KiiBOOM Cybrix29
• Key/Switch Puller
• USB-C to USB-A Cable
• User Manual

Features

The Cybrix29 is a 29 key wired gaming keypad that is ready to take on any task. Whether you are looking for tool to upgrade you workflow or just want something pretty to set on your table, the Cybrix29 is a fantastic solution.

Aesthetic

The Cybrix29 has a clean modern design, built to the high quality KiiBOOM standards has set for the industry. The low profile aluminum body not only looks good, but will keep your desk a bit more clutter free. They Cybrix29 is available in three colors: pink, silver and black. I chose to review it in pink, but it was a very tough choice to make.

The three dials give the keypad both its utility and modern flare. The RGB lighting effects helps illuminate your setup. The Cybrix29 features three separate RGB systems that can be easily customized through onboard commands. Each of the 29 keys, the light bar on top, and the acrylic base have separate customizable RGB profiles. Users can change the brightness, lighting effects, speed of the effects, and the color of each profile. As an added bonus, the keycaps and switches are easily swappable for maximum customization.

Comfort

The Cybrix29 promises a comfortable typing experience. The cherry profile keycaps give it its ergonomics, while the duskrise magnetic switches give it that satisfying soft feel. Whether it be a long gaming session or a bit of editing, your hands can rest easy with this powerful keypad.

Performance

The Cybrix29 is KiiBOOM’s ultimate solution for form factor utility. Each of the 29 keys is fully customizable. Each key and dial can be easily remapped or reprogrammed to take on any task. Users can also adjust the sensitivity and actuation of each switch for a more personalized experience. The Cybrix29’s advanced functions like the Snap Key (SOCD) and Dynamic Keystroke (DKS) support give its users a competitive advantage, so long as the game allows it. Don’t get banned.

Most importantly, the keypad’s wired connection give it the high speed, low latency connection needed for competitive gaming. With a very respectable 8KHz polling rate and no battery to slow its users down, the Cybrix29 is ready to master any game or assignment that gets in its way.

Review

If you are looking to upgrade your game, or a tool to help your productivity, the Cybrix29 is the perfect tool for you.

Looks

KiiBOOM is a master of creating aesthetically high-quality keyboards, and the Cybrix29 is no exception. The keypad is very well made with a light weight design that makes it perfect for travel. The colors are all bright and the lettering is clear. The quality of the keycaps gives me confidence that it won’t fade in the near future. The RGB makes the keyboard fun. The colors are vibrant, and the customization options give the keypad its versatility. There is a Cybrix29 configuration for every setup.

My only complaint is that it is a wired connection. I don’t like having too much wire clutter, but it is the price to pay for a high speed low-latency connection. However, it is a price I am willing to pay because this keypad is a beast of a machine.

Performance

If you are looking for a tool to give you a competitive edge or just want a more comfortable gaming experience, the Cybrix29 is a fantastic upgrade. The wire connection gives the keypad its negligible latency. You might need to do a bit of remapping, but the keypad has most of the keys you need for the games you play. I end up remapping a lot of what I play, so it wasn’t a huge deal.

The Cybrix29 features a fantastic out of the box experience, but being able to remap and reprogram the keys is nice to have and easy to do. The adjustable actuation and sensitivity as well as the advanced features (Snap Key (SOCD) and Dynamic Keystroke (DKS) support) make it a very powerful gaming tool. I didn’t feel the need to make any adjustments, but they are available for those who need it. Just make sure the game allows it first.

Although I don’t have a real way to test it, the Cybrix29 has the potential to be a powerful macro pad. The three dials are very handy for editing, and being able to remap everything certainly has its value. If you are looking for a powerful daily driver that looks good and is low profile, check out the Cybrix29.

Comfort

The most important feature of any keyboard is its comfort, and the Cybrix29 is comfortable. The keycaps feel great, and the switches have enough resistance to not only be satisfying, but they don’t create any fatigue. I was able to game for long hours without any hand pain. The sound is loud enough to be satisfying without being overbearing. My wife appreciates that it doesn’t fill the house with the thacking I love so much.

Conclusion

I love the Cybrix29 and it will be my daily driver for my main games. I have it configured just right for Guild Wars 2, and with the new expansion out, I am going to be spending a lot of time in Tyria. A keypad this size is a great option for those who need a macropad to play with, or for those who don’t want to buy a full sized keyboard. The size makes it a functional gaming peripheral, and its design makes it easy to store. It is also a very good for travel, if you don’t want to carry a full sized keyboard. With a bit of tinkering, the Cybrix29 can handle any game and task, making it the perfect tool for those who need it.

You can pick up the Cybrix29 on the official KiiBOOM store. They are currently having a huge sale until November 12, so now is the perfect time to pick up this or any of the other fine KiiBOOM products. You can also pick it up on Amazon through my affiliate link, but it is cheaper on KiiBOOM during the sale.

Glancing again at dedicated left-hand WASD-plus #gaming #keypad devices. About the only one that isn't just half a keyboard stuck on a stand and doesn't look like an alien medical-torture device is still the Logitech G13.
But not one of the "suggested" games that it's optimized for is one I'm interested in (the closest is Fallout 3), and HOLY FREAKING MOTHER OF HASTUR, $500 for a left-hand keypad? GTFO.

Many would find it odd, but I find it convenient to have Shift+KeypadMultiply defined as "p". #keypad

Interesting, how the two types of numpads developed independently and why Google/Apple stick to a particular one.

Any ideas, why my #USB #Keypad doesn't work with my #Raspberry running #Bookworm ? I have to unplug it and replug it again, then it works as expected.

Looking for a robust Zigbee keypad that can be used with HomeAssistant. Needs good battery life and solid operation. Apart from the numeric keys it should of course have buttons for "arm" and "disarm". So nothing fancy.

I’ve had an Adafruit Macropad for a little over 3 years, and while I was working from home at the start of that period it was permanently on, connected to my MacBook Pro on my desktop, with a variety of shortcuts configured for driving different apps that I used day-to-day. My configuration is on GitHub.

More recently, I have not been using it nearly as much.

Last weekend for our Makeroni meetup, I pulled it out of my kit bag and started to tinker some more. I have a variety of additional Qwiic / StemmaQT controls and sensors that I wanted to play with, so I updated to the most recent stable build of CircuitPython and started to have a look at them.

I also noticed that it is a nice size to act as a companion device to the MNT Pocket Reform…

I noticed a problem – there was some burn-in on the OLED display where it had been mostly always-on in the past (lesson learned, to manage the screen output more carefully!) – but fortunately, Adafruit have done a lovely job of making that easy to replace. I also think it might be nice to have that screen wedged up at a slight angle to aid readability.

I have a notion that I can 3D print a case to more-or-less match the look of my Hyper Purple laptop. I don’t have an identical colour of filament, but I do have a range of options. I also ordered a bunch of different knobs for the potentiometer, and some alternate keycaps, so that I can make the look a bit more consistent as well.

I don’t have a final case design yet (and I need to spend some time properly learning FreeCAD and/or Fusion360, really), and I also haven’t finished modifying the macros code to match what I’m using on Debian on the Pocket Reform, but this is just some work-in-progress.

I have enough trouble with #touchscreens, and I'm sighted. I can't imagine how difficult it is for you.

Where I am, #retail locations are replacing their older POS #payment terminals with newer-generation ones that ditch the #keypad for a touchscreen. The pads of my fingers are thick and dry and don't activate them well; it takes 3 or 4 tries to activate each "button" press.

How on earth are the blind supposed to use these?

#UI designers need to meet real #users.

I have a history with USB peripherals that provide Extra Buttons. Besides the El Gato Stream Deck, I have a Shuttle Pro (purchased at MacWorld NYC!) and a Belkin Nostromo SpeedPad n50. Various other USB button-festooned peripherals abound in a box.

I always have grand plans for extra buttons that are dashed against the hard reality of Figuring Out How to Program and Use the Peripheral.

Keyboard Matrix Decode

I found an old keyboard, a “KSP970” which is a sub £20 keyboard with full size (non touch sensitive) keys, that was being thrown out as battery acid had corroded away most of the circuit board inside, but the keyboard itself was still intact so I thought it would make an interesting project to attempt to read the keyboard.

• In the second part, I add MIDI.

These are the key Arduino tutorials for the main concepts used in this project:

• Arduino Keypad
• Open Music Labs Input Matrix Decoding

If you are new to Arduino, see the Getting Started pages.

Parts list

• Arduino Nano
• 16x LEDs (optional)
• 8x 220Ω resistors (to go with the LEDs – also optional)
• Breadboard and jumper wires
• Scrap keyboard!

The Circuit

Most keyboards and keypads use a “matrix” method of decoding keypresses.  I won’t go into the details here, but the Open Music Labs tutorial has an excellent description of the concept, but the general principle is that the keys are decoded as “rows” and “columns” even though on a music keyboard they are naturally sequential. If you are lucky, as I was, the keyboard will have two sets of connecting wires (see the two silvered ribbon cables in the photo) – one for “rows” and one for “columns” which can be linked up to your Arduino’s IO pins.

The trick is to work out which keys are linked to which pins, which is where this simple circuit comes in.

I have a 61 note keyboard and each of the ribbons is 8 wires wide.  I can see from the underside of the keyboard pcb that each key’s switch is linked via a diode to the “row” pins.  I’ve only shown one key circuit in the above, but the Open Music Lab’s tutorial shows the “matrix” in more detail and the same circuit seems to be used here.

One simplification for me though was that I have several of these really cheap “8 bit” LED “bars” which make decoding the key matrix very easy – they contain 8 LEDs and associated resistors in a breadboard-friendly format.

My final test circuit looks like this:

I feed power into the two breadboard rails (5V) and then can work out which keys light up the second set of LEDs and thus map keys to combinations of “rows” and “columns”.  Note, in the above photo I’ve applied power to all of the “rows”, but in practice you’d only want power on one at a time to see which keys light up the other LEDs.

Once I knew how the keys were decoded (it turned out pretty simple and logical) then I could hook it up to an Arduino and see if I could detect keypresses.

I used a Nano which means I could relatively simply attach the two 8-way connectors to the two sides of the board, with one proviso.  I am using the analog ports as digital IO pins, which works fine for A0 to A5, but you can’t use A6 and A7 in that way so I had to re-route the last two pins over to D11 and D12.  As I had a new cheap Nano to use, I was able to desolder the pins on A6 and A7 leaving them unconnected from the 8-way headers.

The Code

Once the Nano was involved, I was able to install the Keypad library for the Arduino (search for Keypad and find the library simply called “Keypad” by Mark Stanley) and modify the MultiKey demo sketch as follows:

• I need a 8×8 matrix decoding, so the array at the start of the sketch needs updating.
• As the keys on my keyboard decoded sequentially in a straightforward manner, I didn’t have any complicated reordering of the keys to be done to match up with Arduino pin numbers.
• I want to eventually output MIDI note numbers, so I changed the characters in the array to MIDI note numbers.
• On printing, I forced the code to print the MIDI note number rather than the letter names.

My first try had the rows and columns the wrong way round and yielding nothing.  The mapping I eventually used was as follows.

const byte ROWS = 8;const byte COLS = 8;char keys[ROWS][COLS] = {{36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43},{44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51},{52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59},{60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67},{68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75},{76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83},{84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91},{92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99}};byte rowPins[ROWS] = {A0,A1,A2,A3,A4,A5,11,12}; //connect to the row pinouts of the kpdbyte colPins[COLS] = {2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}; //connect to the column pinouts of the kpd

This seems to work very nicely.  You can see it hooked up and the serial output from playing a “chord” below.

Find it on GitHub here.

Closing Thoughts

Decoding the key presses ended up being relatively simple for this keyboard which was a bonus.  Next I will add the MIDI library and get it actually outputting MIDI messages.

I’ve had a play with the tone generating module, just to get an idea for what it can do (I might write that up one day too), but it isn’t really salvageable.

However the power supply and built-in amplifier and speakers seem fine so it would be really interesting to use this as a housing for some of my other Arduino music projects.

Review

If you are looking to upgrade your game, or a tool to help your productivity, the Cybrix29 is the perfect tool for you.

Looks

KiiBOOM is a master of creating aesthetically high-quality keyboards, and the Cybrix29 is no exception. The keypad is very well made with a light weight design that makes it perfect for travel. The colors are all bright and the lettering is clear. The quality of the keycaps gives me confidence that it won’t fade in the near future. The RGB makes the keyboard fun. The colors are vibrant, and the customization options give the keypad its versatility. There is a Cybrix29 configuration for every setup.

My only complaint is that it is a wired connection. I don’t like having too much wire clutter, but it is the price to pay for a high speed low-latency connection. However, it is a price I am willing to pay because this keypad is a beast of a machine.

Performance

If you are looking for a tool to give you a competitive edge or just want a more comfortable gaming experience, the Cybrix29 is a fantastic upgrade. The wire connection gives the keypad its negligible latency. You might need to do a bit of remapping, but the keypad has most of the keys you need for the games you play. I end up remapping a lot of what I play, so it wasn’t a huge deal.

The Cybrix29 features a fantastic out of the box experience, but being able to remap and reprogram the keys is nice to have and easy to do. The adjustable actuation and sensitivity as well as the advanced features (Snap Key (SOCD) and Dynamic Keystroke (DKS) support) make it a very powerful gaming tool. I didn’t feel the need to make any adjustments, but they are available for those who need it. Just make sure the game allows it first.

Although I don’t have a real way to test it, the Cybrix29 has the potential to be a powerful macro pad. The three dials are very handy for editing, and being able to remap everything certainly has its value. If you are looking for a powerful daily driver that looks good and is low profile, check out the Cybrix29.

Comfort

The most important feature of any keyboard is its comfort, and the Cybrix29 is comfortable. The keycaps feel great, and the switches have enough resistance to not only be satisfying, but they don’t create any fatigue. I was able to game for long hours without any hand pain. The sound is loud enough to be satisfying without being overbearing. My wife appreciates that it doesn’t fill the house with the thacking I love so much.

Conclusion

I love the Cybrix29 and it will be my daily driver for my main games. I have it configured just right for Guild Wars 2, and with the new expansion out, I am going to be spending a lot of time in Tyria. A keypad this size is a great option for those who need a macropad to play with, or for those who don’t want to buy a full sized keyboard. The size makes it a functional gaming peripheral, and its design makes it easy to store. It is also a very good for travel, if you don’t want to carry a full sized keyboard. With a bit of tinkering, the Cybrix29 can handle any game and task, making it the perfect tool for those who need it.

You can pick up the Cybrix29 on the official KiiBOOM store. They are currently having a huge sale until November 12, so now is the perfect time to pick up this or any of the other fine KiiBOOM products. You can also pick it up on Amazon through my affiliate link, but it is cheaper on KiiBOOM during the sale.

The low profile aluminum body not only looks good, but will keep your desk a bit more clutter free. They Cybrix29 is available in three colors: pink, silver and black. I chose to review it in pink, but it was a very tough choice to make.

The three dials give the keypad both its utility and modern flare. The RGB lighting effects helps illuminate your setup. The Cybrix29 features three separate RGB systems that can be easily customized through onboard commands. Each of the 29 keys, the light bar on top, and the acrylic base have separate customizable RGB profiles. Users can change the brightness, lighting effects, speed of the effects, and the color of each profile. As an added bonus, the keycaps and switches are easily swappable for maximum customization.

The Cybrix29’s advanced functions like the Snap Key (SOCD) and Dynamic Keystroke (DKS) support give its users a competitive advantage, so long as the game allows it. Don’t get banned.

Most importantly, the keypad’s wired connection give it the high speed, low latency connection needed for competitive gaming. With a very respectable 8KHz polling rate and no battery to slow its users down, the Cybrix29 is ready to master any game or assignment that gets in its way.
