Ecarke Black USB Mini 3-Key Gaming keypad Cherry Shaft OSU Keypad Hotswap One Handed Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Programming Macro RGB Backlit OSU HID Standard Keyboard

Works perfectly, does exactly what I need (one-key text entry), very easy to set up and love the web-based configuration interface (no app install needed).Configuration instructions aren't the greatest, but not too much effort to figure it all out and good to go. Note that the settings are actually stored on the keypad itself (not on your computer), meaning you can move the keypad from one computer to another and it 'remembers' the settings, exactly what I needed (e.g. you configure on one computer and can move to another and use).Pretty much everything can be configured, keypress(es), delay, colors/fade, etc.Key buttons can be easily removed (pull straight up and they slide off their individual post), and the buttons can be re-orientated if needed (there is a slight difference between the 'front' and the 'back' of the button). The button mechanism itself is a nice solid feel, not clicky at all. USB C (5-key) cord is included and can be plugged into either port on the keypad (back or side) - nice design.

My daily work is comprised of very repetitive keyboard strokes which often causes my hands to ache/cramp after a few hours. I purchased this keyboard to help alleviate some of the pains from the position and repetitive motions I do hundreds of time each day. It’s only been a few days but so far- I love it!The software was very easy to download. The instructions came with the product and it is also in the description of this listing. I downloaded it on my personal laptop and played around for a few minutes with the options then quickly made my selections for each key and saved. In total, it took under 5 minutes. I could have spent more time and played around with the lighting effects but honestly, I don’t care about the them. I unplugged the keyboard from my personal laptop and into my work laptop and all the keys work exactly as I intended.It takes a bit of retraining your brain to not use the full keyboard but once you get the hang of it, it was great and so far. My only regret is now not purchasing the 6 key product vs the 5 key.

The software link (for Windows) no longer works. I purchased 10 of the eCarke five-key macro pads between October 2022 and May 2023. I expect products like these to last years and years. I buy only high-end, reprogrammable mechanical keyboards, and have been doing so for decades. Even the most expensive ones average about $2-ish per key. These mini programmable keypads average $5 to $7 per key, which means I've paid over $300 for the 50 available keys on the 10 mini macro pads I purchased from eCarke. I think it's reasonable to expect that they would still be working barely two years after purchase. But nope, they're now useless unless I commit to using them as already programmed for the rest of eternity.I have recently discovered some third-party code that allows for remapping on these fly-by-night macro pads with no software or craptastic software. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but I'm hopeful it will work with the eClarke macro pads. If it does, great. It will not only be a salvation for the keys, but an improvement over the original software. But still, shame on you for not maintaining the default software that came with the purchase.

Responsiveness is good and the build quality is nice. The software is a bit strange to use but It works and has a lot of features. Reprogramming is easy and can be set to just about anything you want. Lighting is a bit confusing to change but the colors look nice. The micro usb port did end up breaking so im forced to use the type c port so my functionality was reduced.

Took me a few minutes to figure it out but I have the scripts running and satisfying my application

Great mini keyboard. I use it for my MAME arcade. I like that you can program separate colors for each key that stay on constantly. Normally i would knock this a point for the antiquated microusb port instead of C, but it's so good I'll let that pass.Software wasn't hard to use at all. If you are uncomfortable with downloading the Chinese software, you can instead program it directly at the supplied web address while having it plugged into your PC.

Bought for gamingPros:-All the pros of a mechanical keyboard.-Cheap and surprisingly high quality.-The website works as intendedCons:-You have to use a website to modify the lights. But that really isn't a super big deal.Detailed Review:I bought this keyboard for gaming. I had a wrinkly brained genius scholar inventor extraordinaire moment and realized I could super glue a 3-key mechanical keyboard to the back of my ps4 controller for extra key binds in Rocket League. This 3-key mech found its way into my mailbox shortly after and I've been very pleasantly surprised with this thing.It feels very well made and sturdy. The base is made of a few layers of acrylic plates. You can even take the top acrylic plate off to modify the key-switches if you want. I'm pretty sure the key-switches are Cherry Reds, they look and sound like them anyway. At the least, this thing is a true mechanical keyboard,meaning you can modify it like any other mechanical keyboard.I was a little apprehensive about using the website to modify the colors and settings (which is SayoDevice.com btw if you do buy it). But my virus protection isn't sussed about the site and I haven't had any issues using it at all. A lot of the text is in Simplified Chinese, but there is also English where it's important. You can use the site to change the key's programming, the lights on the keyboard, and other stuff.If you need a 3-key mechanical keyboard for some reason, I recommend buying this one. I'm satisfied with it and even feel like I got a higher quality product than I expected to receive.
