A cute paw-key that types x3, owo and more – for furries, by furries. One button, infinite fluff chat.
PawKeyboard is a single-button USB device with a paw-shaped keycap that sends predefined ASCII emotes like owo, x3, rawr~, or *paw* – directly into your text field.
It’s powered by an Arduino Pro Micro, fits into a tiny 3D-printable case, and adds just the right amount of fluff to your daily typing.
This is not just a button. It’s a portal into the fluffy side of the internet.

The STL files used for the case and the paw keycap were not designed by me –
I found and combined them for this project. I'm as creative as a rock.
Huge thanks and credit to the amazing designers who made this possible:
- Case design: Emergency ALT-F4 Button by Waschtl
- Paw keycap: Paw Keycap by FuzzyRaptor
