MagiClick S3 is a CircuitPython-powered “Single-Button Keyboard” with display #CircuitPython @hacksterio
Pseudonymous maker “Modular” has put together an open source “single-button keyboard” with integrated display, designed to act as an interactive informational shortcut system: the MagiClick S3.
“[MagiClick S3 is] a single-button keyboard, based on ESP32-S3, with a color screen,” Modular explains of the compact device. “The display part adopts a 0.85-inch color screen, 128×128 resolution, and the display content is [fine]. The main control board is currently only designed with the [Espressif] ESP32-S3 [microcontroller] version, which supports WiFi, flash, and RAM large enough to help add more functional scripts.”
The MagiClick S3 hardware design files, 3D-printable chassis, firmware, and software are all available on the project’s GitHub repository — the hardware under a reciprocal Creative Commons-Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International license and the software under an unspecified open source license.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
