Description

The NeoKey FeatherWing is a FeatherWing add-on board that adds two mechanical key switches with integrated NeoPixels to any Feather main board. It supports two Cherry MX or compatible mechanical key switches, which can be plugged into Kailh sockets without soldering. The switches can be glued in place if desired.

Each switch has a reverse-mount NeoPixel beneath it that shines up through the switch spot, allowing for customizable RGB lighting. The two NeoPixels are chained as one 2-pixel strand for control.

The switches and LED strand are wired simply to work with any Feather board, and jumper pads allow rewiring if necessary:

  • Switch A - Connects to the Feather pin left of SCL (usually pin D5).
  • Switch B - Connects to the Feather pin two pins left of SCL (usually pin D6).
  • NeoPixel Input - Connects to the Feather pin three pins left of SCL (usually pin D9).

An onboard STEMMA QT connector allows solderless connections to other sensors and accessories (STEMMA QT cable not included).

Each order includes one assembled FeatherWing PCB and two sticks of break-off header for soldering. Mechanical switches and keycaps are sold separately.

Features:

  • Two Kailh sockets for hot-pluggable Cherry MX or compatible mechanical switches
  • Two reverse-mount NeoPixels for vibrant RGB lighting
  • Simple wiring compatible with all Feather boards
  • Jumper pads to rewire switch and LED connections
  • STEMMA QT connector for expansion
  • Compact dimensions: 50.0mm x 23.2mm x 5.2mm
