He says this in the video, but for anyone just here for the software: select a key on the top left, then what you want it to to down below, hit download and it'll write to the keypad. The K1 left/center/right are for knobs, turning left, right, and clicking. Thanks for linking the software!
Always read before you download, or you will clear all of your settings. You would think you could reload the configuration file, but there's no such animal. You also can't save multiple configurations, not that you would want to. I use mine with Autohotkey, and I can't imagine using one of these without something like.
Like others I bought a 3 button unit with a knob which came with no software or links, thank you very much for the software download, got it working exactly how I wanted it to!
Thank you for the video. I purchased a 16 button + 2 knob macro pad from temu similar to the one you have. This seems to be an inexpensive way to make a diy macro pad using Adafruit KB2040. All I have to do is figure out the pin connections, de-solder the built-in chip, and add wires to the KB2040. I will probably design a 3D printed bottom to accommodate the extra thickness.
Its a pretty good idea. I've made custom keyboards normally the annoyance is with MOQ of the individual items. Modding one of these would save a lot of purchase hassle for the hassle of modding the ori enclosure. Not a bad deal with access to a 3d printer.
Thank you for the Video and Software Link. I got a 4-Key version off eBay and the seller didn't include any software links and was not replying my messages. Fortunately I've just programmed it to work with my Raspberry Pi after finding your video :)
easier instructions: keyboard, horizontal layout, dial knob on the right side. Upper keys: 1 2 3 lower keys 4 5 6 All you need to do to program a key, is to select the configuration on the software, say CTRL-C for copy on Key 4. You select CTRL SHIFT ALT in the menu, then click CTRL+, then click KEY, and click on "C". Then hit DOWNLOAD to enter it into the custom keypad and tada! You have copy on a key. To program the dial for volume (as I did) K1 - K2 - K3 are the dial knob for the single one you have. Click K1 Click Multimedia and hit Volume - (volume down) Then click DOWNLOAD Click K2 Click Multimedia and hit MUTE Then click DOWNLOAD Click K3 Click Multimedia and hit Volume + (volume up) Then click DOWNLOAD now your dial controls the volume.
TYVM! I could not figure out how the software worked and thought I had wasted my money on this device but this video showed me how. I feel stupid but, in my defence, it's really not exactly the most intuitive software ever written. I just needed to be shown how.
Thank you for the video! Ran into an issue of my board not getting picked up by the program, fixed by running it as administrator. Hoping this might help others with the same issue.

Thank you, you saved my day. I'm just wondering what the function of LAYER is? can I use a shortcut on different software?? for example Lightroom uses a different shortcut to Photoshop and when not using any software, the Shortcut key returns to the way I set it in the beginning without re-entering the shortcut key again. can it be done?? Thank you again.
Nope the layer is supposed to be a toggle for a different mode. If you want to keep tacking on functionality, I would suggest look into autohotkey First you map this macropad to super weird keys like f12+alt+5 then you use autohotkey to look for that input and check the foreground app to decide the actual input you want. Of course this process is quite involved but there’s plenty of existing resources. If I do get around to implementing something like that, I’ll drop a link in the video as well
There is no garuntee, however here's my takes. 1. If you watch my teardown, the chip used wouldn't readily allow much function to be embedded. So to my there's minimal possibility on the hardware level. 2. The software. This is the risk. Having to run some random ass software to get the device working is sus. From the files that I've shared, it seems to contain the source as well. I don't have the means to validate if it's clean, maybe someone more well versed in it can take it up. What I have tried is running the software though a sandbox, nothing came up, so I guess it's clean.

I don't entirely understand your issue, but here's what I think might help you. On a normal keyboard, when you want to press '?' you would press 'shift' + '/' So you could assign the macro to that combo. Hope that is what you're looking for, else do try to clarify more.
Hi :) For some reason, every time I press Download and I get an Unhandled exception error (Index was outside the bounds of the array) that causes the program to crash, any help?
The layers give access to different keys. As I mentioned in the video, it only works with the Bluetooth version of the macropad which I did not get. If you’d be so kind as to sponsor me, I’ll test it and make a video on it. I’ve tested 2 macropads on the same machine, it is individually recognised. There’s no issue with making more than one. The programming needs to be done with only one connected at a time.
It´s great and it works wonderful... BUT... as soon as I restart the pc the programming of the keys is gone. I found the right software and downloaded the macros to the board. Totally not usable... any help?
What happens if you unplug the board while its the computer is still running then plug it back in? Does it also get reset? If it doesn't get reset, what if you unplug the board then poweroff the pc and boot. Does that get it reset?
Is there a Press and hold function? Pushing the Key seems to be a single entry thing even if you hold it and holding it just spams that letter like multiple presses.
Unfortunately no, there’s no support for tap dance or anything of that sort. The best you can get for more functionality is to get the Bluetooth version that supports multiple layers.
I purchase one , i am hoping to set it up for my music software and would like to be abble to map the knob to parameters to play synth and so on and have the keys as shortcut, would this be possible?
I'm not familiar but this macro pad is only capable of binding keyboard strokes. So if you can use a key combo to play something then yes, its possible.
I have this one with 12 keys and has no LED, but it should looking at the text with it. 1 key seems to be lacking this download-assignment function. It won't save the command so it keeps empty... any tips?
Can't help man, I only have one type. No experience with any issues or other models. Best to check with your seller to get their advise. There's a chance its damaged, so return it and get another one of all else fails.
Does this work on windows 11? I got the software downloaded but when I make the changes for the keys none of them work. It detects that I have it connected and also shows that It saved but the keys do not do what I set them to do.
Hey there. thanks for the instructional video. I'm concerned though that the files have been flagged by virustotal as a trojan?? is it a false positive?
I've not had any issues. I did first run it through a sandbox didn't find any issues. If you have doubts, then, use a burner device or vm to run the program and config, then torch it.
Thank you for posting where you are sharing the files. Could someone point me towards instructions on what to do once I'm on the google drive? The video above just seems to switch to being inside the application, and I'm getting errors about files not being found, etc. 100% sure I'm doing this wrong.
Download whatever is from the Google share. If it's in a zip file, you need to extract everything before trying to run it. If a standard run does not work, try running it as admin. Also, it only seems to work with windows 10, windows 11 is not stable.
Windows is having so much trouble with this when I try to run the app. In this case it is actually easier for me to do it in Linux with comparability of WINE.
hi guys,,I wondering that is it work in photoshop? like using it for change the size of the brush cursor by rotating the KNOB, i'm planing to buy it. and also,, is the knob rotate smoothly? like there's no gap when we rotated it. thank you.
Yeah it’ll work in photoshop, you just need to bind the keys to the right symbols. Nearly every action in photoshop has an equivalent keyboard shortcut. You can even modify the shortcuts if you need to in the photoshop settings. The knob is clicky. There are distinct steps as discussed in the video.
I am using a Windows 10 PC and my Device is not showing up as Connected in the Software although it is. I tried anything but I can not find a way to get it working. Any Ideas?
I would start with windows itself. 1. Is the device showing up in windows device manager when plugged in? Does it show any sign of life? Like printing the default c when pressed. 2. If no, try another usb port. 3. If all usb ports fail, try another machine 4. If that all fails then it’s probably the macropad that’s faulty. 5. If it’s connected and print the default c but software does not recognise it, confirm that your device is the same as the one I tore down in the video, unscrew yours and ensure it generally looks the same. 6. Try running the software as administrator. If that all fails, explain your procedure again here as detailed as possible and we’ll see if we can figure it out. If one of the steps works, do report back so that maybe it’ll help someone else.
@@ZwiebelConnaisseur Okay, have you checked if it’s the same chip family? Or tried running the program as admin? There’s 2 programs by the way, feel free to try both. One I used in the video and another that a fellow TH-camr introduced.
I have this same keypad. I programmed the buttons, but I'd like to change what is programmed to a couple of buttons. Can you change the programmed macro or are they set once you program it once? I get an error message when trying to change macro programming.
@@ghilsinger74 check the video description. The Google drive link is the one that was used in the video. There’s another app that was also shared by a different user, I’ve not used it personally.
Thanks for the video, i wonder if you can use the knob to play games like Arkanoid. In this case, can you configure the knob to move as a mouse left and right in an analog way? It seems you can only set left click, middle and right click functions only.
Nope, as far as I know it’s not possible to directly assign those kinds of commands. I would normally suggest autohotkey for custom mapping but with gaming I’m not sure if it’ll add additional latency. Then again, it’s been a well known finding that these devices have a pretty low polling rate that really doesn’t make them suitable for gaming. You’ll get very poor response times.
@@randomnick2890 Thank you very much for your reply, you were very helpful. I thought i could use it for this kind of gaming but with latency, it would be frustrating and unplayable.
Not a good idea. 1. The knob is stepped, so there's quite a bit of friction when trying to turn and it has a set turn amount. 2. The polling rate of the device is not high enough for most games that require fast input. 3. Its just really small. Unless you're gonna hold it with 2 hands or have a way to mount / stick it to a desk, its not going to stay in one place
I got the software to read my keypad, it says connected. but when ever i try programming anything to any key / "downloading" the programs, I get an Error Window Saying "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application" and more error messages, Anyone encountered the same problem? and any way to fix it?
Like I said in the video, My seller informed me that the wired version does not support the layers function, its only available with the bluetooth version. I don't have it, so I really am unable to explain how to use it. If you'd like to sponsor a bluetooth unit for me, I'll definitely try it out and make a video on it.
I bought the non-bluetooth 12keys + 2knobs, theres a button at the side that lets you switch layer. Bad thing is there is no indicator on which current layer you are, unless you test it.
@@manOfTheSaltpans wait waat i k there's wm switch to turn it on off then one goes blue like a bt connection thing but bad to keep wireless as never picked up default when starting my lenovo ideapad
@@Poetry4Peace mine dont have a switch for on/off, just a button to switch between the layer. Just want to repeat, what I have is the wired non-bt model.
Unfortunately there's nothing for Mac to configure these kinds of units, that I know if. All the sellers that I've seen inform users to configure it with a windows machine then they can use the configured key binds with the mac.
Thanks for the video, if anyone is looking how to setup the knob, I managed to setup by using the K1 keys (left / centre / right). However I am not able to setup the RGB function, it's just not working at all, I am wondering if the seller sent me the right product, did anyone have any issues with the RGB? I haven't tried in other PC yet, that will be my next shot

Interesting that your settings aren’t saved. It’s supposed to be saved to the keypad so moving the keypad between computers should retain its function. I’ve not had any issues with the 2 keypads that I have, so I can’t offer any advise. Maybe someone else around can point you to a solution.
@@randomnick2890 Any chance you found or know a way to save different profiles for the keypad? Example one setup to use with Photoshop, then run another and it's set up for a different piece of software.
Hello Random Nick, I bought the same type of mini 6 switch marcopad with knob. the knob is working but the keys not working. after i set some keys on it. is there anything to fix it? only the media works for the keys button, but other not work for the keys button. does anyone encounter that? or did i missed out installing anything?
Try running the app with admin rights. Try it with a different pc. If that doesn't work, then try reaching out to your seller. I've got no other ideas.
@@randomnick2890 Hello bro, thanks for reply, it works now. looks like i need to set the keys to other function like delete or page up and down then only change back to the keybaord keys that i want to program. try couple of time then it work.
Hi, yeah the only way to program it is to use a windows pc. Once programmed, it should work on a Mac. I’m working on a video on how to do it with Linux, so do subscribe if you’re interested in that
@@randomnick2890 after programming. Its working via usb. Also my phone is connecting with keypad with no issues, but my laptop is looking for devices then after long time, there is some "tool" on the list wich can not connect and disappers. To this time my laptops BT was working fine.
@@wykonczeni maybe the bluetooth version isn't compatible, can you check what version of bluetooth your laptop supports and what version the macropad uses?

Has anyone found or know of a way to store the settings in a run-able file so it can be programmed for different tasks on the fly, i.e. one setup for PhotoShop, another for Office, another for a game, etc?
Somehow missed your comment. Nope, I only have what I have. I'd be much interested if someone does write a different firmware for this style of device.
@@Poetry4Peace it is indeed, I've had mine for almost a month now and it really changed the ease of use of my desktop when gaming and productivity, a very great addition to anyone's set up.
@@randomnick2890 thanks for the reply. On the listing from the seller they claimed that you set it up on Windows, and then the keyboard remembers your settings. You can then plug it into a Mac and it will work. Unfortunately I’ve not been able to get this to work.
Yeah, that's what I've been informed too. I don't have a Mac to test, so I can't verify. I was told that the programming tool is only available for windows, once programmed, the combos will work with any machine as the macros are stored on device.
It's all about key binds. If you can bind the sound to a specific key combo, then it's possible. If you want it to do it from the ori software, then nope, that's not possible.
Yes the keys macro instruction will work with mac but the software to program it is only available on windows so you’ll need to use a windows machine to program it before it’s usable on Mac
I used windows to map the keys initially. Now on my mac I can reassign those keys on the keyboard using Karabiner elements. Using a 3-keys + knob model from AE.

Download whatever is from the Google share. If it's in a zip file, you need to extract everything before trying to run it.
If a standard run does not work, try running it as admin.
Also, it only seems to work with windows 10, windows 11 is not stable.
excellent video!

Windows is having so much trouble with this when I try to run the app. In this case it is actually easier for me to do it in Linux with comparability of WINE.
Good call, if all else fails, why not try linux.
Sadly most people would not even know how to even begin to go about doing it.

hi guys,,I wondering that is it work in photoshop? like using it for change the size of the brush cursor by rotating the KNOB, i'm planing to buy it.
and also,, is the knob rotate smoothly? like there's no gap when we rotated it.
thank you.
Yeah it’ll work in photoshop, you just need to bind the keys to the right symbols. Nearly every action in photoshop has an equivalent keyboard shortcut. You can even modify the shortcuts if you need to in the photoshop settings.
The knob is clicky. There are distinct steps as discussed in the video.
@@randomnick2890 ooh thank you so much for the help,,it's works so i'm gonna buy it then..
for the clicky,, i hope i can deal with it.
I am using a Windows 10 PC and my Device is not showing up as Connected in the Software although it is. I tried anything but I can not find a way to get it working. Any Ideas?
I would start with windows itself.
1. Is the device showing up in windows device manager when plugged in? Does it show any sign of life? Like printing the default c when pressed.
2. If no, try another usb port.
3. If all usb ports fail, try another machine
4. If that all fails then it’s probably the macropad that’s faulty.
5. If it’s connected and print the default c but software does not recognise it, confirm that your device is the same as the one I tore down in the video, unscrew yours and ensure it generally looks the same.
6. Try running the software as administrator.
If that all fails, explain your procedure again here as detailed as possible and we’ll see if we can figure it out.
If one of the steps works, do report back so that maybe it’ll help someone else.
@@randomnick2890 it is showing up in the device Manager, the layer button is working, and there are random keybinds on the makropad

Okay, have you checked if it’s the same chip family?
Or tried running the program as admin?
There’s 2 programs by the way, feel free to try both.
One I used in the video and another that a fellow TH-camr introduced.
I have this same keypad. I programmed the buttons, but I'd like to change what is programmed to a couple of buttons. Can you change the programmed macro or are they set once you program it once? I get an error message when trying to change macro programming.
I can change my / reprogram them without any issues.
The base module can only hold one macro per key.
@@randomnick2890 what is the Url for the programming app that you use please?
@@ghilsinger74 check the video description. The Google drive link is the one that was used in the video. There’s another app that was also shared by a different user, I’ve not used it personally.
thank you so much
Thanks for the video, i wonder if you can use the knob to play games like Arkanoid. In this case, can you configure the knob to move as a mouse left and right in an analog way? It seems you can only set left click, middle and right click functions only.
Nope, as far as I know it’s not possible to directly assign those kinds of commands.
I would normally suggest autohotkey for custom mapping but with gaming I’m not sure if it’ll add additional latency.
Then again, it’s been a well known finding that these devices have a pretty low polling rate that really doesn’t make them suitable for gaming. You’ll get very poor response times.
@@randomnick2890 Thank you very much for your reply, you were very helpful. I thought i could use it for this kind of gaming but with latency, it would be frustrating and unplayable.
mine does not activate the leds, why is it? do they bring the keycaps?
The key caps don’t affect the leds. There’s the option in the programming tool to configure the led mode, have you tried the different modes?
I'm wondering, can i assign the Knob as steering wheel if we wanna play a rally/car racing game? Thanks in advance.
Not a good idea.
1. The knob is stepped, so there's quite a bit of friction when trying to turn and it has a set turn amount.
2. The polling rate of the device is not high enough for most games that require fast input.
3. Its just really small. Unless you're gonna hold it with 2 hands or have a way to mount / stick it to a desk, its not going to stay in one place
How to program the buttons from F13 to F24?
From what I see, it’s not possible with this software.
@@randomnick2890 I know. I have not found a program that helps with this.

This macro pad support 3 layers, I wonder how can I switch between each layer? I've already downloaded software, but I didn't find any clue about it.
Like I said in the video,
My seller informed me that the wired version does not support the layers function, its only available with the bluetooth version.
I don't have it, so I really am unable to explain how to use it.
If you'd like to sponsor a bluetooth unit for me, I'll definitely try it out and make a video on it.
I bought the non-bluetooth 12keys + 2knobs, theres a button at the side that lets you switch layer.
Bad thing is there is no indicator on which current layer you are, unless you test it.
@@manOfTheSaltpans wait waat i k there's wm switch to turn it on off then one goes blue like a bt connection thing but bad to keep wireless as never picked up default when starting my lenovo ideapad

Bro Thank you for the tutorial . im gonna buy this also. It nice we have such as tutorial for this. Do you think the keys can be swap ?
Swapped meaning hotswap switches?
I showed it in the video.
If you mean keycaps, also yes?
Based on what switches you use
Is there any way I can use the F13 to F24 keys?
Unfortunately not with the given software.
Best you can do is to make some unused combo to remap to whatever action you require.
@@randomnick2890 thnks
Thanks! What software do I use for Mac though please?
Unfortunately there's nothing for Mac to configure these kinds of units, that I know if.
All the sellers that I've seen inform users to configure it with a windows machine then they can use the configured key binds with the mac.
Thanks for the video, if anyone is looking how to setup the knob, I managed to setup by using the K1 keys (left / centre / right). However I am not able to setup the RGB function, it's just not working at all, I am wondering if the seller sent me the right product, did anyone have any issues with the RGB? I haven't tried in other PC yet, that will be my next shot
Hi, maybe check first if your board has the LEDs on them.
There seems to be a variant that does not come with LEDs.
@@randomnick2890 I suspect I got the no LED version myself.
@@JasonDeveau then that’s that.
You can quite easily check by taking the unit apart, like I showed in the video, it comes apart quite easily.
thanks! was useful. how to setup the nob?
At 14:32 onwards, the k1 left and right is the knob direction, then k1 centre is the knob click.
Omg mine gets reecognized by pc but not software...
Hmm.. Maybe your unit is not the same one that the rest of us got?

is it possible to change the specific led colors for it?
I'm interested in that too, haven't found a way to do it.
How to you save your settings ? After computer restrart setting all gone...
Interesting that your settings aren’t saved.
It’s supposed to be saved to the keypad so moving the keypad between computers should retain its function.
I’ve not had any issues with the 2 keypads that I have, so I can’t offer any advise.
Maybe someone else around can point you to a solution.
@@randomnick2890 Any chance you found or know a way to save different profiles for the keypad? Example one setup to use with Photoshop, then run another and it's set up for a different piece of software.

360 no hard stops
Are stops better idk
does the knob have start and end point or is it an infinite encoder?
Infinite
Is infiitte better? Idk
Has anyone found or know of a way to store the settings in a run-able file so it can be programmed for different tasks on the fly, i.e. one setup for PhotoShop, another for Office, another for a game, etc?
The only real way I know to do this is with autohotkey. Check it out.
Mine with Bluetooth has layers for that
Is this knobs endless?
Yes it is.
Can be use it in screen car on android system?
No idea, but you can do a test for yourself.
Just plug in a keyboard if that works then this would work too since it’s basically a mini keyboard
is it possible to add delays?

I don't have a Mac to test, so I can't verify.
I was told that the programming tool is only available for windows, once programmed, the combos will work with any machine as the macros are stored on device.
Are you able to have each key play separate sound bites or is it strictly for keyboard controls?
It's all about key binds.
If you can bind the sound to a specific key combo, then it's possible.
