Files for building your own Single-button "keyboard" that does only one thing - leave any Zoom meetings.
See demo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GqqAG8KL6Q And here's the Reddit thread that prompted the sharing: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/l7to85/singlebutton_keyboard_gives_the_satisfaction_of_a/
- A single-switch mechanical keyboard / macropad with a large 3D-printed keycap
- Supported by 3 stabilizers so you can press anywhere on the key
- Powered by a Pro Micro Arduino microcontroller
- Really only sends an Alt-F4 to the active window. So this assumes the Zoom window is the current focus (see improvement ideas below)
- A prototype - not for sale (yet) - if you would rather buy something like this, let me know. If there's enough interest, I'll figure out how to mass-produce this
- Procure:
- One standard Cherry MX compatible switch - I use Kailh Jade for the thick click effect. You may consider an even heavier switch, such as the Kailh Navy
- One 6.25x plate-mounted stabilizer
- Two 2x plate-mounted stabilizer
- One Sparkfun Pro Micro, clone, or a microcontroller of your choosing
- One 10K resistor - 1/4 W worked for me
- Two M3x10 countersunk screws
- Two M3 nuts
- Print the 3 STL files
- Wire up the switch and program
- Flash the Pro Micro - included

file is an example - Wire up the Pro Micro
- Flash the Pro Micro - included
- Assemble the thing like the above image - more images in the images folder
If you can help out here it will be much appreciated:
- Complete the detailed version of the build
- Use Autohotkey for more reliable scripting
- Test on a Mac with different key presses
- Use a cheaper microcontroller - some suggested digispark / Attiny85
- RGB lighting effects?
- Figure out if I should get it mass produced (?)
TODO - circuit diagram, etc.
