Candy: Pocket Bluetooth Macropad with online customization, Macros support
This is Candy: tiny, pocket-sized device with 9 keys that becomes whatever you need: a Bluetooth macropad, a layered shortcut pad, a media remote, or a wireless Rubber Ducky / BadUSB that fires off scripted keystroke payloads. It pairs like an ordinary Bluetooth keyboard with your PC, Mac, phone, or tablet, and you reprogram every key from your browser: no app, no IDE, no re-flashing. Built on a Seeed XIAO ESP32-C3 with a small LiPo, it slips in a pocket and runs on battery.

How easy is it to customize?
Very. There's nothing to install. Open the customizer, connect candy to the PC, click a key, pick what it should do, and hit Write to device. Changes apply instantly and survive reboots and firmware updates. There are one-click macro templates (Like Rick Roll) to get you started, and you can export/import your whole layout as JSON.
Open the web flasher, go to the Flash firmware tab, plug in over USB-C, and click Install. That's it
One device, many uses
- Pocket Bluetooth macropad. Pair it once and every key sends whatever you mapped: a single key, or a shortcut combo with Ctrl / Shift / Alt / Win. Works anywhere a BLE keyboard works.
- Layers for way more than 9 keys. Add as many layers as you like and switch between them with a momentary (hold) or toggle key. Nine physical buttons turn into dozens of actions.
- Macros: type whole strings or scripts on one press. Open apps, paste boilerplate, run commands, automate logins, anything you can type. Macros use a simple Ducky-style script (STRING, DELAY, GUI, ENTER, …).
- Ready-made macro templates. One click drops in working examples: a Rickroll, open Notepad, run a command from the Run box, lock the PC, a Hello World, so you can see how it works and tweak from there.
- Bluetooth Rubber Ducky / BadUSB. Because macros are just scripted keystrokes, the device doubles as a wireless keystroke-injection tool: a pocketable, re-programmable BadUSB that talks over Bluetooth instead of a USB stick. (Use it only on devices you own or are authorized to test.)
- Media remote. Map keys to volume, play/pause, next/prev: a tiny pocket bluetooth remote.
- Long-press actions. Give any key a second function on hold.
- Battery powered & pocketable. Small LiPo, an on/off slide switch, and the XIAO's built-in charger. It deep-sleeps when idle and wakes on a keypress.
