@@manitoublack duckyscript was made for computers in mind, anyone who has a working knowledge of whatever specific can bus commands your car is using could program their own macro pad with an Arduino(pretty easily), but you wouldn't use duckyscript. looking online, programmable can bus keyboards seem WAY too overpriced for what they are inside.
I've been using a similar, but more "factory-made"-looking macropads MAX Falcon-8 and MAX Falcon-20 since 2018 at work and can't imagine a day without it. I have both the compact 4x2-buttons version and numpad-style with 20 buttons. It comes with RGB and you can choose between 10 MX-switch types. It comes either assembled or as a kit. The pads don't require to install any software to run and store all the macros inside the pad. They have also very light and simple to use software to record macros, with practically no character limit per key and 5 color-coded layers. The only downside is that macros are not editable once you recorded them, you can only change delays between the simulated inputs, so if you make a typo you have to start again. Would be cool to have a screen on it like on the Duckypad, but Max Falcon don't look as fragile and is cheaper, however, I'm not sure if it will provide some of the advanced features of the Duckypad, so hope it will succeed commercially :)
You can nab a 24 key (that does allow you to add modifiers to turn it into 48 key) off of Ebay for around $30 bucks. They are Genovation pads that you can get the software from their website. Full macro support and script support. Or you can go to their website and buy the new model that comes with clear keys for custom labels. Their program also comes with a feat that will allow you to print labels if you wanted. Oh and if you buy the one from Ebay, the cable is 20 foot long...i shit you not...Mine can wrap around my office.
Just got mine yesterday. FYI, you don't need to disconnect the pad when pull out the micro SD card to reprogram. The pad would just disable itself when there's no SD card or valid profile in the card slot.
Wow. This does look interesting. There's definitely a market for programmable keyboards. I know Koolertron make quite a few models. Also, probably as mentioned elsewhere, it would be great to get one of those old IBM Model F 4704 50 Key Keypads.
i cant remember what it was called but a while ago there was a custom mech version of the stream deck, someone made in the custom keeb community. super cool real mechanical switches and screens. cant seem to find it though.
Something like this would be so comfortable for fps gaming, only needs a small spacebar at the bottom and shift on the left side, if only I could make something like that myself
Nice pad specially that little screen. But he should have used QMK+VIA. With VIA you could have on the fly Macro. But I like the effort that guy put in his on software though.
That's not even a Glarses reference? Just because he reviewed the switches and had a similar opinion about them doesn't mean it's a reference, in my opinion anyways But yeah, cool
Bro you killed it in the gear badge review just that joke when you Flex it and make the terrible creaking noise like an old lady's skeleton I was crying on the floor laughing at that seriously you must be hitting up the random joke generator
5:05 "...it's incorrect to put units directly after numbers without leaving a space, which is of course, HA HA HA... laughable." My life is a lie... Also, I see what you did there on the lower right most macro... quite NSFW for something you use at work XD
Have you ever played around with a Genovation pad? Check out their website as they have a metric shit ton of different models with key sizes. Even their program is hefty, full macro and script support. Plus they can even do labels (printed or led). I picked one up off e-bay for $30 (US) and it has 24 mech keys, with LED's, and modifier to convert to 48. I have to use one of those gaming pads that looks like a quarter sized keyboard because shoulder injuries from sports. If i try to use a normal keyboard for gaming, i'll be chewing my pain killers like pez.
3:40 I kind of have to disagree on your statement regarding QMK's ease of use for recent years Chyros. If we're talking about QMK approx. 5 years ago then yes I'll totally 100% agree QMK wasn't straightforward to use at all back then, but now using QMK is a lot easier & straightforward imo especially due to its easy-to-use online QMK Configurator (config.qmk.fm/#/ ), or (if the board supports it) the VIA Configurator (caniusevia.com/ ). The QMK Config at least would imo work better than how the Duckypad is configured in your video, since you can create the macro/configuration you want, compile & download the hex file, and then flash onto the keyboard using the QMK Toolbox on Windows (which are just a few button clicks). VIA is even better as it allows you assigning of keymap/macros live with the keyboard directly, so you can just connect the board, test out some new Macros/KeyMap in VIA, and then close VIA/detach the board once you're happy with the config that you have. Granted I somewhat agree that On-the-fly Macro recording without requiring any software would still be the best, but my main point is that QMK in it's current state is imo very user-friendly & pretty straightforward because if these tools. Still love your review though, and thanks for bringing attention to this neat Macropad 👍 EDIT: Incorrect formatting for link
So why not implement the usb mass storage class on the MCU and pass the card through? Inline recording for a USB keyboard is going to be damn near impossible on that kind of hardware
0:35 when you consider that a large amount of Group Buys for custom keyboards are run by a single person (and often more complex), this is not that impressive. E.g. Jae from ProtoTypist is a UK Vendor for keycaps and more, and he also runs keyboard group buys on his own (with way more parts than this)
I did think of that! The text will move around a few pixels once in a while, the OLED will dim after 2 minutes of inactivity, and the entire duckyPad will go to sleep after 30 minutes by default.
redtube is a consumable? O_o Ah, must be a name for an often used chemist item?Edit: Ah, vacuum lines.. I get it now. Anyway, this review instantly reminded me of Ryan Bates offering. It's a similar macropad, but it not only supports the usual cherry mx switches, but also tactswitches and (gasp) rotary encoders! Have a gander at www.tindie.com/stores/ryanbatesrbg/
So sad that it seems that most tinkerers and technicians really are not very good designers. I would assume this guy has a 3d printer - or something similar is available to him - yet this pad is just barebones. I guess he considers to design an enclosure as "the last thing on the to-do-list" .. but i daresay that function should incorporate design from the very start .. like building the pad in a more ergonomic fashion (like concave) with the LCD on top.
5:19 are we gonna acknowledge the redtube macro
the video hasn't even been up for that long
Working from home has its perks.
and "tissues"
Its consumable at least
Hard and soft
Who else thought the Duckypad was made by ducky.
wasn't it??
@@charlotteathena any chance you'd be able to make one that runs on canbus? for use as a keypad in a race car?

It's short for "red tubing", used frequently in chemistry

Nice
all the needs for doing chemistry.. wink
Loving the redtube marco makes life so easy
This is absolutely one of those videos where you can tell Thomas is a chemist.
Just got mine yesterday. FYI, you don't need to disconnect the pad when pull out the micro SD card to reprogram. The pad would just disable itself when there's no SD card or valid profile in the card slot.
Really wanted a “I added a redtube shortcut, or… in imperial units xhamster” 😂
That's it for this review. Thank you for watching. I hope you enjoyed it.
And following is a typing demonstration of me typing on this macropad.
Dat Redtube though... LMAO!!!!
As a proud owner of a box jade GMMK, i approve of this choice!
Planning to get my hands on a bunch of navy switches too :)
I have BOX Navies in my 9key macro pad and it's the most satisfying CRUNCH adjusting audio on that thing.
I have been using a rubber ducky since they were first released years ago so this was a huge no brainer for me. Cant wait to get my hands on this guy.
Now this i could use! This is a proper modern recreation of a good macropad :)
Wow. This does look interesting. There's definitely a market for programmable keyboards. I know Koolertron make quite a few models.
Also, probably as mentioned elsewhere, it would be great to get one of those old IBM Model F 4704 50 Key Keypads.
How is the unplug/out/program/in/plug more user friendly than qmk?
I’ve been using a Catch22 macropad at work for the past 2 years. Macropads are awesome.
kinda wish it was one row wider though
Interesting. This is like a nicer feeling Stream Deck, without the interactive screen buttons.
i cant remember what it was called but a while ago there was a custom mech version of the stream deck, someone made in the custom keeb community. super cool real mechanical switches and screens. cant seem to find it though.
I love that the GUI for the program was in Python
this macropad looks super cool
Oooo I’d like to see you review the modular Everest keyboard if you’re going to look at kickstarters
'Lightweight'. 'Just 24MB'. This is obviously some new, exciting meaning of the word 'lightweight' that I was previously unaware of...
BTW you can flash QMK on it.
any suggestions for MX-compatible tactile not-co-clicky/almost silent switch ?
Something like this would be so comfortable for fps gaming, only needs a small spacebar at the bottom and shift on the left side, if only I could make something like that myself
I mapped my game controller to keyboard keys with joy2key. It word quite well.
when looking at the grid on the configurator for a bit like at 3:34, you can begin noticing the hermann grid optical illusion. p trippy ngl
Where.Is.The.Typing.Demonstration? HUH!?
"Following is macro-ing demonstration of me macro-ing on this macro pad."
This would be epic if it could be configured for use in a car over "CAN-Bus"
As a key pad for a race car.
Dedicated Redtube button for work eh?
Would be mega cool to have an RGB screen so the keys can match color with the legends.
Nice pad specially that little screen.
But he should have used QMK+VIA.
With VIA you could have on the fly Macro.
But I like the effort that guy put in his on software though.
What a nice midweek surprise :-) BTW I got my hoodie ha! haha! I think I'll wear it to the office tomorrow.
Haha noice! Wonder if anyone gets the reference xD .
I usually watch this to nicely fall asleep. But then I saw VWR on the display... And gone were my sweet dreams... :'(
"it's very light! just TWENTY FOUR MEGABYTES"
2:48 I see a subtle Glarses reference there...
That's not even a Glarses reference? Just because he reviewed the switches and had a similar opinion about them doesn't mean it's a reference, in my opinion anyways
But yeah, cool
I meant the tone when he said "You are...Wrong"
it's so subtle lol
but maybe I am thinking too much into it lol
will you do a review on the razer deathstalker
Chyrosran, what is the most tactile mx compatible switch?
When did you get that cool new outro?
2 or 3 months ago I think.
BOX Navies and Jades really are great
Bro you killed it in the gear badge review just that joke when you Flex it and make the terrible creaking noise like an old lady's skeleton I was crying on the floor laughing at that seriously you must be hitting up the random joke generator
I just want someone to reverse engineer the logi G15 screen so we can have a mecha g15/g13
Indeed a very good use of RGB, and it looks pretty cool and clean. Noice! :D
I'm assuming that's a different kind of redtube...
Does this work on the latest Macbook Air??
QMK is a bit complicated, but VIA is much easier to use. Great program.
@Peter Mortensen ruclips.net/video/WZKf2TvUZ7Q/видео.html This demo is a bit old, but shows some of the functionality.
Aww, i wanted to hear a bit of typing
Has Chyrosran come across the Cooler Master Controlpad?
Do you have to solder this?
The virgin Elgato Stream Deck VS the CHAD Duckypad

Does QMK support displaying a label for each key on the OLED, like at 4:57? And then of course changing that per layer.
Anyone have any info on the Focus macropad that Thomas has?
So why not implement the usb mass storage class on the MCU and pass the card through? Inline recording for a USB keyboard is going to be damn near impossible on that kind of hardware
It’s possible, but the code to do it would be pushing the memory limits of the microcontroller from what Deku has said.
@@mrgeraldbrent Yeah that's fair. A low-end STM32 can do this pretty easily these days, but that would mean a redesign....

Run whatever keys you want as long as they fit the pin pattern. Cherry silents, gaterons, whatever. O rings and lube also go a long way.

This pad is likely to change my general negative opinion on them. Noice!
You should make a top 2020 key switches for this year and the most worst 2020 key switches
Maybe omnipoint switches were the "best" for 2020 (not much consolation) while everything else is too "substandard" to be on a best/worst list
Insane
That OLED screen is going to suffer burn-in really quickly without a screen saver.
