8 Button unit similar to "Mini Dual Button Unit" but with form factor of "8-Encoder Unit" (only with buttons).
Add internal STM32F0 and change Grove port format to I2C.
(also allow for reading a single byte that contains all the buttons states, one per bit, for faster reading)
Would be useful when quickly need some buttons and don't want to use a breadboard
Tube/Air Pressure Unit (U130) with I2C output instead of analog (I2C Sensor or I2C ADC)

How about one with 50 buttons... :D

Yes, lots of buttons good, but the buttons on the keyboard are tiny, not as easy to press and you have to look closely to make sure you hit the right one (unless you use one near an edge).

You can do it analogue using a resistor ladder or use an I/O expander like https://shop.m5stack.com/products/extend-i-o-unit-2-stm32f0
and have all 8 buttons connect to it like is a quiz show.
Or you could make up one using the Stamp version on a breadboard:
https://shop.m5stack.com/products/m5stamp-extend-i-o-module-stm32f0Both work exactly the same.
I built a library years ago that did analog buttons (with event firing and multiple simultaneous button press support).
Yep, there are several ways to get multiple buttons on the M5Stack. I currently use U041-B ("I/O Hub 1 to 6 Expansion Unit (STM32F0)"): https://shop.m5stack.com/products/i-o-hub-1-to-6-expansion-unit-stm32f0
with button boards attached as needed. It would just be nice to an inexpensive single unit to easily grab/plug.
The nice thing about M5Stack products is you can just grab the components you need, plug them together and focus on prototyping some code. It makes it handy for quick prototyping/testing/monitoring or proof of concept, without soldering or building/moving/dismantling a breadboard.

Yes, a unit with 8 backlit buttons on a matrix of 2812 LEDs.
2 rows of 4 buttons.
With the ability to choose any color of the button backlight.
I2c Control Interface
Good idea on adding led's like the encoder has (easer to spot the needed button based on color without having the color be a permanent button cover). 2x4 vs 1x8, I guess would come down to use/preference, 2x4 may be better though.
@saiyande said in [Documentation] AtomS3 Schematics:
Hm, yep, M5Stack doesn't mention a WS2812 in store or docs, oddly, their FCC doc lists it... https://fccid.io/2AN3WM5ATOMS3/User-Manual/User-Manual-6228015.pdf
and it does look like there is one under the (?MPU6886?) daughterboard: https://fccid.io/2AN3WM5ATOMS3/Internal-Photos/Internal-Photos-6228008Mine hasn't arrived yet, so I only have docs for reference atm.
I received and took apart my AtomS3 (to remove the MPU6886), there are pads for a WS2812, but it isn't populated.
