Koolertron 24 Keys Programmable Keyboard，One Handed Macro Mechanical Keyboard, RGB LED Backlight Red Switch USB Portable Keyboard with Fully Knobs, 24 Keys Macro Pad for Gaming

I recently got interested in getting a side macro keyboard and actually did get a small, cheap one from elsewhere, but quickly figured out I needed something better and more reliable.After quite extensive research, I decided to go with this keyboard and I'm happy I did.It's nice size, has good weight to it; sits on the desk firmly. With 24 keys there is a lot of options, and it has 4 layers overall, so wow.Personally, I set it up with one layer only, at least for now; combining most used general shortcuts with PS shortcuts that I use the most, but it's nice to know there is more layers to use if I ever need to expand.My only wish is that it had more macros - it has 15, which is not bad, but I personally could use a few more.Not a big deal though.A lot of RGB modes, you can configure everything - from mode, through brightness, hue, saturation - all of it.Overall, very useful tool and a beautiful tech piece that sits on your desk.

First I will say I love what they are innovating here .. Its been a long time coming. The fit and finish are excellent. The only drawback of this device is that these switches are HYPER Sensitive. Just resting your fingers on the key will trigger 30 clicks.. and thats ALL keys. Unfortunately, there is no sensitivity setting in the software nor on Windows ...only cyclic delay. Please fix this?? -- Heads up for those sitting multimedia recliners with the lighted cup holders .. search a product here on Amazon "USA GEAR Mounting Pad Disk Adapter for Cup Holder Mounts " Its a match made in heaven... It Works perfectly and SOLID

This is a stellar keypad! Honestly when I ordered it I was expecting it to come in a cheap, haphazard box with no extras. And minimum thought in product design. I was so wrong!It feels premium, especially premium for what you pay for. They throw in two sets of extra keycaps (one set of black typewriter caps, one set of standard white cherry profile caps).The keypad itself is a nice weight. Solid build. Doesn't leave fingerprints or anything. The keys switches are satisfying. I have keyboard with official Cherry MX blues, and the unbranded switches feel and sound just the same!Customer service is outstanding. If you have any issue, like needed extra parts or help with configuring the keypad, they are more than happy to help. Prompt, friendly, and helpful. They reached out to me to make sure there was nothing more they could do to ensure, in their words, I had "no worries" about their product.Info for keyboard hobbyists: this product is comparable to a Nyquist or Levinson -- keyboards I have seen people spend upwards of $200 on parts and assembly. This is basically a prebuild Levinson with outstanding customer service.If you're on the fence with purchasing this, just buy it, it's solid quality and very user friendly.Full disclosure: I returned this keypad literally only because I learned to assemble, solder, program my own keyboard, so I have no need for a prebuild.

Background: I recently purchased a HyperX Alloy Origin Core keyboard (with thier Aqua Switch, akin to Cherry MX Brown) to facilitate my newfound job of light Excel VBA programming and heavy-duty report writing => typing for hours straight. Between the HyperX keyboard's just-right responses and highly customizable keys, I'm a happy camper...Still, each report requires some 50-60 charts being copied off web pages and pasted into a MS Word doc, so I thought that a programmable keypad may ease/speed up the process with minimal eyestrains.----------------------------------------This keypad seems solidly built, even though what looked like metal parts in pics are actually thermoset plastics with rough and uneven grooves, suggesting poor machining... unimpressive but not a dealbreaker.But then it all went downhill with the customization software -- the impression went from a 4-star to 1 in no time!1) The software has 7 color settings for a 9-key pad!!! Who the heck came up with that! So, you are forced to use the same color for some preassigned pairs even if they have unrelated functions. OK, you accept that... but then, it's hard to tell which key has which color! Red, orange, bright pink and purple may look quite different on a monitor, but on the keypad with many LEDs reflecting off each other's colors, it's tough to figure out which key has been assigned a particular color. In sum, a seriously dumb design! (Koolertron can learn so much from Logitech & HyperX.)2) The software doesn't even allow for a 2-key combo entry! Assigning Ctrl-C to a key on a HyperX? Just press the 2 keys at once. On this thing, you have to click on 'LCtrl' or 'RCtrl' on the screen, click on 'Split' and then get a 'C' in between the now split 'LCtrl [down]' and 'LCtrol [up]'! WTF!!! I have been programming on and off since the early 1980's and I have never seen such poor design! IT'S LIKE DRIVING A CAR DESIGNED BY PEOPLE WHO CAN'T DRIVE!!!What a shame! This product has such potential from a hardware perspective, but then it's severely hindered by poor software design. Can't even assign something rudimentary like 'Ctrl-C' to a key quickly? Really? That's a sign of either inexperienced programmers or meddling middle management (a likely scenario.)Please, please think of product design from a user's point of view!!!!!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Update: Bumped rating from 1 to 2. Still think the customization software is way too quirky, but at least useful enough once you get used to it. Also, the Cherry MX Red switches are nicely employed.For anyone looking to program the key colors under 'Options' , here's the mapping -- counting from the left, the 1st color block is for keys 2 & 9, 2nd for 1 & 8, 3rd for 7, 4th for 4, 5th for 5, 6th for 6 and 7th for 3. Hope that this helps some users save some time.

OK ! I love how to keys feel and the switchers I love the light!Is not interfere with your other keyboard! tried thatI have never tried to program the macro keys never installed yet the software, but I am sure it will work fine!I love the quality of the materials! Finally is not a cheap one it should have good quality!
