If this is based on the same software as the XD002, STAY AWAY from this one. By "macro pad", they mean you can only select from a list of predefined keys or key combinations, or you can save a text snippet for it to type in; you cannot program your own key combinations. The preset keys you can set are:

Any keyboard key
Standard media control functions
Power/Sleep/Wake buttons
Mouse buttons L/R/M/4/5
Ctrl+A/X/C/V
Turn LEDs on/off
Change layer

Again, you cannot program your own key combinations, making this of very limited use. If they're going to bother updating the firmware/software for this, that would be great, but it seems pretty unlikely. You're better off grabbing one of the other macro pads that pop up on this site.

duckfartsThis really needs to be part of the product description. I'm pretty disappointed by my XD002. This one just costs more. It looks the same as the other one and it being XD004, I'm pretty confident it's the same weak firmware.

duckfartsEveryone should listen to duckfarts. :-D Seriously though, the functionality of the XD002 was disappointing. I could be wrong, but I don't see anything new here except two additional buttons with the same limited programmability.

duckfartsUGH. I knew it. I would 100 be all over this, so long as we can configure macros how we want. weaaaaaak

moldyCheeseSeriously... What is a "Macro Pad" that can't use macros? This is exactly what I want but with Maco capabilities. Such a shame.

duckfartsplease tell me how to program it at least for basic keys... TMK website has the button grayed and I can't proceed with the flash. I followed every instruction available here and there

How do you do per-key RGB lighting on a Shift V2?

I saw the online configurator that lets you do this on the Shift V1, where it spits out a compiled firmware file to flash. The V2 doesn't seem to have this function in the Windows configurator, though. I can't imagine the answer here is "you're going to have to manually write the hex for every key in QMK, compile it, and flash that".
