Mute button

— Beefy industrial sized button to toggle mute
When talking to your friends online you sometimes would want to mute your microphone.
You can do this by adding a keyboard shortcut for example CTRL-M which will work but…
It would be way cooler to have a dedicated industrial ✨IP-67 40N 6A momentary push button™✨ to do this for you, so thats what I made.
How it works
The workings are very simple, the button contains an Arduino acting as a HID Device.
When it detects a button press it will measure the “down time” distinguishing between a short and a long press.
If its a short press it will send out F13 (it does exist after all 🤓), for a long one its F14.
You can map these simulated keys to whatever action you want in Discord or whatever program you’re using.
