One Key Functional Keyboard =========================== Description/Concept ------------------- This is my concept of a 1 key keyboard, that actually turned out like more of a macro pad. My idea was to make it small, but have it hold every component. The price of the concept currently looks like it might be under $10 (if you have some components like wires, a 3D printer, 3D printer filament, etc). My part ideas are listed below. ___________________________________________________ Changing letters/numbers/keys -------------------------------- - Option 1: Use a microphone with voice recognition ($5 to $10) - Option 2: Maybe host a page for changing keys (with username/password ($0) [using server or replit.com]) ___________________________________________________ Microcontroller --------------- - Use a Raspberry Pi Pico ($4 [supports MicroPython and C]) - Use an Arduino Uno ($10 - $20 [only supports C]) - Use an ESP8266 for making wifi connection for site (compatible with key switch, $0.83 on AliExpress) ___________________________________________________ Case ---- - 3D printed case ($0, Can make more if broken, worse quality) - Machine-cut metal case ($?, Strong, reduces modularity [and overdoing it a little]) ___________________________________________________ Cheapest option: x1 Zealios V2 (worth $1, costs $10 per 10 switches) x1 Keycap (Approximately $0.30, or if 3D printed, $0) x1 ESP8266 ($0.83 on AliExpress) x1 Site (varies, can be setup as web server) x1 3D printed case (already have materials, $0) Price: $2.13 (if you need all parts, it will cost more) If built, STL/OBJ files will be hosted on the Onekey site. ----------------------------------------------------------
