【2-Layer, 26 programmable keys】Can be programmed up until 30 character limit per key. Layer 1 (Mode 0) is Numpad mode with four programmed keys; Layer 2 (Mode 1) is programmed mode in which all keys are programmable except the “Enter” key. The asynchronous number-lock function operates independently and does not affect the 10-key on the main keyboard. 【With Onboard Memory and Pause Function (WrTime)】Onboard memory can retain the programmed macros and moved to a different Windows/ Linux based computer without the software installed; Pause function Supports 0.1 sec to 10 sec delays between keystrokes, and can hold the next action a certain time when programming a series of actions. 【Save Time and Boost Productivity】Specially designed for users who need specified macros to execute repetitive keystrokes and texts such as graphic designers, architects, webmasters, and accountants. 22 relegendable transparent keycaps can be lifted up for users to create their own labels for custom keys (Keycap puller included). Notes: 1. Not recommended for gaming. 2. For Windows OS only; do not support macOS. Even after setting up on a PC, it will not work on Mac. 3. The programmed key cannot auto-repeat when pressed. 4.

Good hardware, tricky software, read all other reviews for details

5 stars for hardware, 3 stars for software. This pad is good for sending key press sequences. Please note that the software has some quirks and you should read the guide fully. Programming/Configuration Tips: - Keystrokes can ONLY be programmed by pressing in the UI, although it looks like you can type text into a field (don't type !tempting, but don't do it!) - in a paper brochure is there an example how to put capital letters, follow the instructions carefully - I had to switch to another PC…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak

Great for my needs

This sturdy little keyboard is easy to program, each key can hold up to 30 characters. And 3 bar combinations like Ctrl+Shift+-(Ctru plus Shift plus -) seem to only count as one character in this limit - at least according to the program's character counter. You can see in the attached photo that I set mine up for use with a special computer program (for indexing genealogical records). The two buttons labeled AHK on the bottom left trigger AutoHotkey actions which I programmed separately and…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not sure

Hardware: Excellent workmanship. USB hub works fine. It would be better if it were ergonomically sloped like a keyboard rather than flat, but the size and comfort make up for it. Adjustable keycaps are durable and stay in place even after prolonged use. Sturdy, you can see that the materials are of high quality. I'm already planning on buying a second one. The programming software is pretty terrible. No help or instructions so you just have to find out for yourself. It doesn't allow you to save

Pros
  • Robust design
Cons
  • Damaged
