WK-50 is a bat shaped mechanical keyboard with 48 keys. It supports programmable macros, and has hot-swappable keys.
## Features
* Powered by RP2040
* Per key RGB LEDs
* Hot-swap switch sockets (for Cherry MX-compatible switches)
* Trackball
* Encoder knob
* Powered and programmable via USB-C
## About the RP2040
The RP2040 microcontroller is a dual core ARM Cortex M0+ running at up to 133Mhz. It bundles in 264kB of SRAM, 30 multifunction GPIO pins (including a four channel 12-bit ADC), a heap of standard peripherals (I2C, SPI, UART, PWM, clocks, etc), and USB support.
## Powered by CircuitPython
It's not just a keyboard but also a USB drive containing the firmware as CircuitPython files. Its Python code can be changed with any text editor and executed simultaneously, which makes it super easy to customize the keymap, add macros or add a new function. This keyboard is fully programmable via CiruitPython so there's no software to install, just plug it in, change keymaps and start building macros. Since all of the programming happens on the keyboard Python files, you can plug it into any computer and take your custom layouts wherever you go.
