Taking the switches out was scary! Thought I made a mistake and it wasn't hotswap, but it is, it just takes a LOT of force!
Also, the VIA programming isn't plug and play. You need to download the config file and upload it to VIA before you can edit the keys, which is a shame.
Otherwise, the build quality is nice and the unit has some decent heft to it. For the price, though, I would expect it to have easier VIA support...
Amazing construction, BE CAREFUL FOR YOUR ARTISAN KEYCAPS
While this macropad will not damage your artisan keyxaps in anyway, I was very surprised to see that some of my custom Pokémon resin keycaps (that have fit EVERY single keyboard and macropad I’ve used before) do not fit (SA profile)! Other than that, it is an exceptional designed macropad (all components are SOLID, and you feel the weight of it in your hand + move it around)
Easily configurable through the VIA software, and the Gateron Yellows sound fantastic and thocky out of box. If you are looking for a simple, small, and configurable macropad, this is a good option to consider.
Bought this little pad for my wife to edit audio, something small, love the gate to. Yellows in it, easy to program and the rgb is a nice touch. She loves it. Happy wife happy life.
I finally got one of these to pair with my tkl keyboard. Im not a “computer person” by any means, but getting the software to work and key settings applied didn’t take too much effort. I was able to program all four keys, the knob press, the left movement, and the right movement with no issues.
