Yes. The macro pad will be recognized as a keyboard anywhere it's plugged in. You only need a computer to program the keys with VIA software. I think VIA will run on Mac, Windows, and probably Linux. Once it's programmed, you can plug it into other computers, iPads, or probably even game consoles and it should work with the keys you have assigned.
Couldn't find it anywhere, but this being on the bigger side, as long as macro knobs pads go, knowing the size of the unit (length-height-width, etc) would surely be useful. It's basically what's holding me from purchasing one right now, as my desk space is somewhat limited.
>There are also 16 traditional hot-swappable mechanical switch sockets for more classic macro functions that can be executed with whichever switches you choose to install.
So the keys are definitely hot swap, but no word on the rotary encoders. Probably not, though, I think they always have to be soldered in.
Is the programming stored on the board, or does it require software be installed on the computer? For example, if I wanted to use this with a work computer which I dont' have admin rights on, could I program it on my home PC, then move it to my work computer?

You can can use VIA's online tool or downloadable software.
