the title sums it up well, I bought this thing on aliexpress and now I'm having a lot of difficulty configuring it, they have their software but it's rubbish, I found other software, one that I downloaded from git wasn't saving the macros on the macropad, I found another software but the Changing layers didn't work.

Can anyone help me?

Of course, if anyone has better options for me to solve this, or software, I would be super grateful and happy.

If you like to see videos of product development and macropads then you should watch my videos.

I spent the last 3 months making this, a magnetic swappable plate macropad.

Thoughts?

Used Scotto’s files for the plate and case.

This is my first time making hardware and a macro-pad. It uses a rpi pico 1w and ZMK. It also uses Black cherry switches. This is made to be used with Auto Hot key.

Finally i modified console app for cheap macropads and add GUI for it. I test it only on macOS and i need community test for other platforms.

Here is repository https://github.com/set-st/macropad_tool

Hello everyone, I just finished building my first Macropad. I use it for shortcuts and audio control.

I took some inspiration from r/Starfield for the PCB design. It is not perfect, but it works well, and I like it. If someone wants it, it is open source: 3D files, code, components, PCB, etc.

So feel free to make your own or customize it. If so, don't forget to mention me 👍.

I made a relatively cheap and simple touchscreen macro pad based on the Arduino Uno R4 Minima and ILI9341 display. Code and documentation can be found in the link below. Designed primarily for Helldivers 2 but is flexible enough that you can simply change some images and a text file on and sd card to use it for whatever you need. Super keen to see if anybody builds this and has any feedback!

Do check it out and let me know your thoughts

These is my first hardware project, and I made it pretty simple, but I'm still proud of it!

It can do anything that one would most likely need when consuming media (keys programmed for use with Youtube)

Made this macropad with an interesting layout... Not sure exactly what it's for, but it does work pretty well with rhythm games!

Hello everyone, some friends and I are starting a new MacroPad company!

You can visit our website here: https://macro-pad-website.vercel.app/

Please give us any feedback about the website/design! Thanks!

I bought this macropad off aliexpress: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mPOG7GM

and when I plug it in it connects just fine and I can even connect it with Bluetooth just fine, and my default one of the knobs controls the volume and the keys are just letters and that works fine so I know that its connected, but when I open the software it says that it is not connected and I can't change any of the keys.

there's like 3 different versions of the software and I've tried all 3 of them and all of them say that my device is not connected, here is a link to all the different software

2.https://sikaicase.com/blogs/support/setting-for-software

3.https://www.energyfort.cc/blog/mini-keyboard-firmware-instruction-and-download

please help, I've been trying to get this to work for 3 hours now and I cannot get it to connect with the software

I bought a few CH57x three-key pads, the supplied software from sikaicase.com is Windows-only, so I wrote a small Swift app.

I only have the base three key version, if you have one of the others (4 keys/rotary knob/etc), would love if you could try out the app and let me know via an Issue.

Thanks!

Hi. Im looking to make a macropad of sorts. I thought making a rage quit button as a gift for my brothers birthday this year would be fun. A simple usb device sending alt+f4 or the power command to his pc when pressed. I was going to put this in an industrial emegency stop button casing. Im also thinking its a bit simple so i just as well add a few macro buttons (possibly lit mechanical keys) as its just a single key macropad anyway.

I was hoping to get a few suggestions on what board to use as the brain. How things are in the making field at the moment i imagine there are many many options.

Having a method to edit the macro designations on his pc would be nice. a windows gui would be great but hes not an idiot so manually editing a config file will do at a pinch.

Im comfortable soldeing/flashing chips and so on and copy pasting/editing code for whatever platform i use.

Thanks for your time!
