The switches slot into the PCB switch plate to hold them securely, and then push into the Kailh hot-swap sockets on the Keybow PCB. Being DSA, the caps have a flat profile that suits small size of Keybow. The slightly frosted finish on the clear key caps diffuses the light beautifully. We've chosen clear DSA key caps for Keybow, as they show off the per-key RGB LEDs really well. Both switches are light and smooth, and the gold switches have a satisying click when pressed. Keybow comes with your choice of Kailh Speed Gold (clicky) or Silver (linear, non-clicky) switches.
CREATE MACRO KEYBOARD WITH RASPBERRY PI HOW TO
We've got a full tutorial on how to assemble your Keybow here. Rubber feet on the baseplate stop Keybow from slipping around on your desk. The Pi is attached to the acrylic baseplate and shim, and the whole thing is rigidly held together by metal standoffs. The Keybow PCB has a 40-pin female header, like a regular Pi HAT, that plugs onto the 40-pin male header on the included Raspberry Pi Zero WH. Compatible with Raspberry Pi 4, 3B+, 3, 2, B+, A+, Zero, and Zero W.Kailh hot-swap switch sockets (for Cherry MX-compatible switches).We've built a completely custom, stripped-down, RAM-disk-based Keybow OS with a Lua interface to customise the layout and lighting on your Keybow. Keybow is powered by a Raspberry Pi Zero WH (with pre-soldered header), and uses the Zero's USB HID gadget mode so that it appears as a real keyboard when plugged into your computer with the included USB cable.
CREATE MACRO KEYBOARD WITH RASPBERRY PI PORTABLE
Because all your key and lighting customisation is stored on the device, it's completely portable too, meaning you can switch your setups between any machine you like. So, if you want to open your web browser and search for cat GIFs all with a single keypress, we've got you covered.

Use Keybow as a hotkey pad for your favourite program like Adobe Lightroom, a custom games controller, to trigger clips, tracks, or effects in Ableton Live, or to paste frequently-used text or code snippets.
