While this keycap can’t run Dead by Daylight, software engineer Bob Sheldon III did manage to get DOOM working. How so? The keycap is actually a custom PCB powered by a RP2040 microcontroller running a modified version of Raspberry Pi Foundation’s open-source DOOM port.
The RP2040 isn’t a powerful computer by any means, just a a dual-core Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontroller running at 133MHz with 264kB of RAM. When connected to a tiny OLED panel and pieced together in a 3D-printed keycap, you get something capable of running DOOM, while not hindering the function of the original keyboard. For those interested in running this DOOM port for the Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller, check out the Github page here.
