Programmable tenkeypad?

[xSpartanCx]

I'm looking to buy a tenkeypad (with any switch) that has programmable keys. I really like this leopold:

But I don't know if it's programmable. Are there any other like this that I can program the top 4 buttons? I don't like the ones with the 00 button.

Can't you just use AutoHotKey?

Can't you just use AutoHotKey?

Would that work for only the keypad? Like, the leopold has an = key, and if I changed that to do something else, would the = key on my keyboard still do =?

[CPTBadAss]

I honestly have never tried it, I just thought it would work. Hopefully someone smarter than me can help you out ^__^

I found this after a quick google: http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/55539-remapping-on-one-device-only/
It looks kinda sketchy, though, and I might have a hard time setting it up

Also found this, I'm not sure if it's the same thing but it looks even harder to use

Download this file, and open it up. Press the = button on your TKP, and see what key it registers as. If it's the same as the = key on the main part of the board, then you'll have to search for a harder solution. If it doesn't, then it should be fairly easy to work with.

There are programmable keypads from Genovation, with Cherry MX Black switches and relegendable keycaps and plastic key/keycap puller. Two-unit keycaps span two switches, so they are hard to depress though. The keypad is also quite large in size. PS/2 only (AFAIK), with a socket for your other keyboard. I don't know anything about the programming software.. maybe it is not compatible with later versions of Windows and I doubt that it would be compatible with USB adapters.

BTW. I have one that could sell, but I'll be keeping the keycap puller because it is my favourite.

Some of the Cherry ones are programmable, but good luck finding one.

If you want to do it on software level in MS Windows, check HID Macros.

The Genovation software works in Win7, no problems...




Also the pads are available with USB connector...

G80-3700 with mode4 full on the fly programmable. I'm not 100% certain, but I think any with revision /05 or less should always be capable of that mode. Mode4 dosen't need any utility to program it so no need to have a 32bit Windows OS PC around for that task. The only big possible downside is you need to have a PS/2 keyboard around to program it, but it's stored in hardware so you can move it from machine to machine without loosing the setting.
If you have a bigger budget, the genovation 681/682 or 683 USB are probably nicer for modern.

I think I'll just get the leopold and hope that autohotkey works :/ but thanks for all the suggestions

Tsangan has one for sale here

Pretty sure that has been gone for a while and the OP of this thread posted in that thread lol.

I'm using a Filco numpad with autohotkey.
When "NumLock" ON, they are normal numbers.
When "NumLock" OFF, they are my autohotkey.



Hopefully you get an idea.
I'm using arrow keys for webpage surfing.
Other closer to me are the most frequency use keys, like copy & paste, open link in new tab.

And please check the here www.autohotkey.com/docs/KeyList.htm for keylist

I'm just a newbie.
I bet we have lots autohotkey experts in GH can help you

Oops, guess I should read the whole thread. I just assumed that since it wasn't marked as *sold* that it was still available.

Don't know if you bought it yet, but I got the Leopold and AHK doesn't work. It'll remap the corresponding keys on your keyboard as well (except for / * - + Enter).

What did you try to do exactly?
