What can I say? These controllers make everything more efficient. Video editing, drafting, emails. Everyone needs one. Only issue where I couldn't use this controller was on an MMORPG - for botting purposes.

Easy to program. Once programmed in hardware mode, it can then be plugged in and used with any computer without installing any software.

Bought this b/c my new job requires a lot of keyboard interaction and most of the interactions are repeatable. I customized mine to have certain phrases programmed to certain buttons, and also I wanted ESC and F12 keys right next to each other because I use them at every step and before I was bouncing back and forth on a keyboard b/c they are at opposites sides of the keyboard.


Love this keypad. Takes a little bit to get use to programming (it is not hard, just have to get use to how its done in MacroWork 3.1 software that they provide free for download), but once you understand the process, its easy to make changes and adjustments. Took me a little bit to figure out how to add a delay, but discovered it is very easy to do and allows you to add delays into steps that are programmed (since sometime a request will take a computer program a half second to process, and you need a pause in the step so the lag doesn't miss the step).


I also love how they allow in MacroWorks to make printouts of labels for the keys...lets you make labels for the keys that fit perfectly into the key button. Makes for a professional look when done, and easy to change. Price shocked me a little at first, but after using it, I would happily pay for it again.

I like this model better than the 16 key stick by the same company.� They're both fine, but this is easier to use without looking while I'm live streaming.� I'm streaming solo and this makes me look so much more professional by letting me program one key to do several functions.

I found out about these while I was stuck at home after an operation. I though they would be amazing for a civil engineering company using CAD software. They quickly allowed our engineers to switch between tools in AutoCAD & in Microstation. I started using these at home for photo editing allowing me to run several command or switch tools with one button press. I have now started using it in my new job as a system administrator for a hospital. It allows me to quickly launch programs and execute repetitive commands quickly. The amazing software they are bundled with allows it to be application aware so while in Outlook a button might do one function in another Chrome it can do something completely different. Add to that layers. These devices have a blue layer and a red layer. So the first button can do one thing on one layer and something else on another layer.



There is one down side. The MacroWorks software doesn't work in Linux. So at home is a bit more restrictive as to what it can do. You can still use it, but you have to program it in windows and it's no longer application aware. There are still layers so you essentially get 48 keys to program.


I know own 3 of these and I have a feeling my wife and son will be purchasing their own.

as an audio guy i was looking for a good replacement for my 360 systems heavy machine. This was it. Programming is powerful enough to get it to add a few trick touches. I was worried about the size of the keys but it did not prove to be an issue. Highly recommend.

I work in word processing, data entry, and graphic design. With this baby I can set up everything from simple cut/copy/paste to multiple click/keystroke insert or resize to fill page processes to be done at the push of a button.

They are very easy to program and they work right every time!

The X-Key is customizeable, My ppalication commands that I frequenlty use (at workplace) was a substatial productivity boost since repetiive actions a thing of the past. Love it!

Does everything I need it to do, works awesome!
