PUB! is a Programmable USB Button on which you can program with a sequence of keystrokes. When you press the button those keystrokes are "replayed" over a USB connection.

The button is programmed using an innovative and slightly quirky interface that does not require any custom software to be installed on your computer. All you need is a text editor like Notepad or gedit.

Features

  • One-button design (a rotary encoder with a built in switch)
  • Programmed by using an ordinary text editor as a display (for example, gedit on Linux, or Notepad on Windows)
  • Supports a GOTO function, so you can program loops
  • Can send USB System Control codes (Power off, sleep, wake) to your PC
  • Can send USB Consumer Device functions (e.g. Mute, Play, Pause, Stop, etc.)
  • Requires NO drivers for Windows/Linux etc
  • Requires NO custom software for Windows/Linux
