I want to build an RGB keyboard driven by Raspberry PI Pico with open source software. Any kits?
As for a RGB keyboard example you can have a look at mine https://github.com/Envious-Data/Env-KB/tree/main/MainPCB_RGB-HS

Hand wiring my first mechanical keyboard
Yes of course it does just look at this PCB mount example https://github.com/Envious-Data/Env-KB

TKL hotswap keyboard
Look at this https://github.com/Envious-Data/Env-KB/
- Raspberry Pi Pico keyboard project
- It is awesome to see so many other Keyboards and Macro Boards powered by the pico
- Designing your own keyboard is a interesting process!
- A made a Raspberry Pi Pico Macro Board!

Is there an environment variable for RPi Pico compilation
I do it for my keyboard firmware project, it's designed to compile up for Arduino (well, not their IDE, but VS with PlatformIO but it's much of a muchness) https://github.com/dairequinlan/mechware

What's wrong with my wiring? Details in comments
code here https://github.com/dairequinlan/mechware/blob/main/src/input/MatrixInput.cpp That's dual use code, few #define chunks there for Ardiuno (Teensy) and Pico, but basically (using the more common Arduino syntax) ...

Use bluetooth module for building a bluetooth keyboard
Plan is to add the BLE functionality as another pluggable module to my own firmware https://github.com/dairequinlan/mechware

The Banana Splits look amazing.
Indeed. It makes for a neat µC for a keyboard, all that GPIO :-D OP are you planning a complete build ? This might be useful it's a complete pluggable and configurable firmware for PICO based keyboards. Dual compiles to Teensy/Arduino so there are a bunch of conditional blocks but it's fairly straightforward otherwise.

sparkfun rp2040
it's not an actual pro micro though, right ? It's a RP2040 board like the Pi Pico. I didn't know that that was even supported by QMK yet (if that's what you're trying to use). Coincidentally I just started using as a daily driver a custom split board I put together, which has a Pi PICO in either half, talking I2C to one another. Completely custom firmware though, source is here: https://github.com/dairequinlan/mechware/tree/pico
