Programmable Macro PC Keyboard User-Defined USB Button Single Keyboard Switch OSU Keypad Game Customized Shortcut Combination Key 1 Key to Enter Password

Have a laser engraver. Needed something to quickly re-start the laser after swapping out material. Reaching the return/enter key on a full size keyboard in a close area caused me to interrupt the production process. This single button sitting on top of the laser keeps production going.

Couldn't get it to program - maybe it was the instructions. I connected the device, I ran the sketchy software. I pressed Key 1, then space, then download. Then it says download finished. I press the button and it does not create a space in a document. I also tried pressing CTL C before hitting download nothing happened.

Despite coming with very sketchy setup instructions that are printed in probably 4px font size (TINY), this standalone key works great. I programmed it to spit out a message on press. About the sketchiness, the instructions promised that they were "non-toxic" and sent me to a random looking website to install software, and requested that I turn off any antivirus programs that I had running. I had a secure enough machine so I proceeded, and everything worked out fine.The key is mounted on a slightly magnetic block, but I affixed it to a flat weighted metal rectangle with velcro to anchor it better when it sits on a desk.IMPORTANT NOTE!! It needs to be set up using Windows. I'm a mac user and thankfully have a Windows vm installed on my machine. Once it was up and running, I had no trouble using the key with my mac. There are a few misleading responses to questions about operating systems given by the seller that say that the key is compatible with mac - as stated, it will work on mac but apparently ONLY AFTER it is set up using Windows.

Super simple way to program a button to print screen. Works every time.

This product suffers from a major design mistake. When you plug it in, it is automatically recognized as the "2" key. The only way to change this apparently is to download some sketchy software from a chinese website lol. This could have easily been avoided by designing it the following way:Have the key be recognized by Windows as relatively unique/rare keyboard key. I've seen this on a different keyboard I own, there is a key in the top right that is a "Calculator" key (automatically launches the Windows calculator app). I reassigned the key to do other things PowerToys Keyboard Manager (a Microsoft product).The problem with this key is that if you use PowerToys Keyboard Manager to reassign this key, it will also reassign the 2 key on your keyboard, so every time you press 2 it would work anymore. If the had chosen a different key besides 2, and used a key that a normal user wouldn't normally use, this could have been avoided. Just a stupid design choice...

The macro software intended for this is very janky, and doesn't even recognize the hardware. I'd avoid this one. Other brands that are trustworthy also have single key macropads.

Not everyone has a Mac and PC sitting side-by-side. I do. It works fine with the Win10 machine—if it does work with the Mac (OS12), then it's more set-up than I am willing to get involved in (I spent an hour trying to figure it out . . . one hour too many).

The first one I ordered did not work however the replacement that was sent did work. You do have to download software to a pc in order to program, the software is very easy to use. This one button does exactly what I needed to accomplish.
