Chain Key

SKU:U206

Description

Chain Key is a single-button input node in the M5Stack Chain series. The button adopts a hot-swappable mechanical keyboard design with a blue tactile switch and integrates a programmable RGB LED. It is suitable for human-machine interaction and smart home control scenarios.

Chain Key integrates an STM32G031G8U6 core MCU and uses a UART serial cascading communication protocol. Through two HY2.0-4P expansion interfaces, it can connect more Chain series devices, enabling more complex and interactive applications.
