It will be easier if you already have experience with coding, but I encourage you to learn by trial and error if this is your first approach. This tutorial will, not only guide you through the project, but it will also introduce you to Arduino in general, starting with a very simple push button as keyboard input and will teach you how to add buttons and features in the next steps. 1 Resistor (this one is optional, any between 110 to 330 ohm will do).1 Arduino Leonardo (or any Arduino with usb interface).In my case, I use it with coding software to have an easy and fun shortcut to copy, paste, duplicate line, save, capture screen and open a couple of apps. You will create a panel with different buttons, each one will do an action in your computer (Mac or Pc) by emulating keyboard shortcuts or commands.
This is a pretty simple and fun project with Arduino which is an ideal option for your first interaction with Arduino.
