That sounds like an awesome setup. Can't deny that programming up your own layout to your exact needs definitely gives you the best results.
Yeah, I really wanted something easier to work with as it's a bit of a pain to maintain, and I might see if I can pick one of these up for my office machine!
Slightly off topic but what kind of things are people automating behind macros here? I run autohotkey but only use 2-3 macros daily which are macros to start and kill apps I work on (hard kill to avoid waiting some shutdown time) and an "attach to app" macro. Not enough to justify buying these. Am I missing out? Any great macros for developers?
It sped me up so much and was so much more efficient, I decided to develop the project to help other people... and here I am today!
It's not just long tedious things which are worth automating, but sometimes, it's the things you use really frequently which need a slightly more efficient way to be accessed.
This looks awesome. I have missed the Gateway 2000 AnyKey keyboard since my last one died a number of years ago, and perhaps this will fill that role.
I like this. It also reminds me that I should make more use of my G keys on my Logitech mechanical keyboards.
Most (all?) other manufacturers have also ruined that little magic block of keys, so there would certainly be a market from folks like me who were brought up in a world where you could delete a character or jump to the end of a row with a single finger.
Charge me $500 for the thing and I'll still buy it.

Hey! Robin here - the creator of TASK: The Amazing Shortcut Keypad. Great to see so many comments and some interesting engagement :D A lot of you are identifying other ways to achieve this sort of automation either with AutoHotKey or custom scripts and if that works for you then good on ya, no point in changing :) However, the keypad was designed to give you quick, easy and intuitive automation in seconds.

Maybe you can provide a non drag and drop interface for power-users? After all your target audience are people who prefer pushing physical keys to moving around with mouse & clicking.

> No writing code, no binding keys or running scripts With all due respect I don't think this is the right pitch for HN crowd :) Maybe you can provide a non drag and drop interface for power-users?
