The Key V2

The Key V2

The Stack Overflow "The Key V2" is a 3 button macropad based on atmega32u4 with hot-swappble Kailh Black Box switches.

Last year, we brought Stack Overflows iconic April Fools joke to life. Advertised as the new (and only) way to copy and paste on the site, it was an ultra-compact macropad called The Key. The punchline-turned product was a huge hit, selling over 10K units and earning a nearly 5-star average review. Now, were back with a second act: The Key V2. The same size as its portable predecessor, this punchline-turned-product has a few notable changes—including an acrylic case to accent its two built-in RGB LEDs. Plus, we made it hot-swappable, so you can easily change out the switches for a truly custom experience. And just like the original, a portion of all proceeds from The Key V2 will go to the data-driven social startup digitalundivided.

  • Physical reset button: Briefly press and hold the reset button while pluggin in the USB port. The LEDs on the back will NOT turn on. Depending on your case revision, you may have to remove the 4 screws on the back plate to access the switch OR you can use the associated access hole on newer releases.
