Once flashed with the firmware, the Pico W pairs with a Bluetooth keyboard and presents its input to connected microcontrollers as if it were a BlackBerry BBQ20/BBQ10 keyboard at address 0x1F, leveraging existing driver code. An optional ST7789 SPI display provides connection status feedback. The project opens up possibilities for writerdeck and other microcontroller-based projects that benefit from a quality wireless keyboard input. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
