They just released a wireless version a few days ago! Your video was so well made and helped me decide that this was the right macropad for me. Thank you so much, you've definitely earned a sub! 😄

absolutely underrated channel, was stunned to see this video didn't come from some big tech youtuber!! I'll be sure to pick one of these up for myself too, thank you for this video :)

Would love a run through of your entire desk setup. You've got some cool stuff there!

I don't have this particular one, but I tried using another competitor version. Pros: shortcuts and mapped keys are great. It reduces the amount of mouse clicking. Cons: It's just another device on your desk. Eventually in my experience, I went back to just plain old keyboard and mouse. You really have to be committed to using it and memorizing all the set keys in order for it to be a part of your workflow. For me, I edit photos and the best shortcut I have are presets, one click and I'm off to the next set of photos.

I would love a video on all the ways to use a macro pad because for someone like me who is conpletely new to macro pads idk where to start plus it seems like something you can put together very nicely

Just got the same DOIO macro pad month ago and I'd like to say it really gives me a boost in creative process. Love the wheels.

Pretty swank looking! One device that you might want to check out is the Huion KD100. I've been using it for the past couple months, and I've been blown away with how efficient it could be. It doesn't look as nice as this, the keys are only scissor switch, and it only has one dial, but it can be used wirelessly via USB receiver. I'm able to make different shortcuts for the various software I can use via the driver Huion uses. I haven't configured it in DaVinci Resolve and Audacity, but that dial it uses looks like it'll be useful there as well.

I swear all the products you’re reviewing are ones I’ve been looking at. Thank you for the great content and overviews. Easy sub.

Your production quality and narration is absolutely top notch. Keep it up.

This guy is gonna get big

Love it man, found your other video today by chance. I'm subbed, gonna see how you progress. I have a very similar WFH setup, and edit from home so I feel like I'm right in the demographic.

I definitely wanna see more macropad reviews from you! I've been considering like a 9-key one as a sort of low profile gaming peripheral to WASD and use a couple alternate keys. Not sure what to get tho!

Amazing video quality, honest take on pros and cons, with tips and examples. Most of the videos in this genre just aim to sell something and come off as elitist and narcissistic but you feel more genuine and down to earth.

Just received the Megalodon 16 key pad. A little disappointed that it didn't come with a manual and the Doio website doesn't seem fleshed out. I really appreciate your video so I can learn more about my newest little gadget.

This channel and the videos are made so great keeps you intrigued and yet giving you great quality information and devices to daily use.

Very clear and quality video man! Just stumbled upon your video and im for surely gonna stick around!

Man, the production quality of your videos is just insane! (and now I bought Spotify Thing + Macro pad ahah)

Found this channel today! Seriously can't wait for more!

this is a great video...totally doesn't seem like a 200 subscriber channel video! quality is great! Keep up the good work and you got a new sub!

I’m so hooked. I dont even want one of these and I’m watching this video. Great work.

Overall reviews that he did is perfect showing the pros and cons. Not bias at all. this guy will gonna get big hopefully not his head keep it up I trust in you. 😎👍🏻

Very well made video mate.. Easiest subscribe button I’ve clicked since ages, keep it up!

You, my friend, have just earned my subscription. Get sponsorships cuz I will support these awesome gadgets.

Thank you a lot for this high quality review. I have a small desk and when painting digitally i always had to bend over in order to reach the keyboard. I just now got the Macropad and am really exited to see how smooth it will integrate in my workflow. What i‘ve tried so far is working brilliant (basic windows shortcuts). I‘ve seen people worrying about not being able to remember the keybinds, but once you used it a few times you should be able to do it blindly, as everyone also does type without looking at the keyboard, right?

Nice video man! Insane quality for such a small channel, keep it up! Could sou do a setup-tour video or sth like that? I would love to know what this pop-filter for the yeti mic is. I have been trying to find good accessories for it but havent been successful…

crazy good quality and entertaining came from you other video and had to watch this one too

Great video, I have this on order with Drop and just waiting on mine to ship.

I may have missed it in the review or in the comments, but can the rotary encoder be used to scrub the timeline?

What a great video, helps A LOT in the beginning.

Your channel is awesome. subbed and liked. looking forward for future content.

The "fanmade" VIAL firmware is much better. especially as it shows the knob and rotation direction. Sadly its not mirrored, otherwise it would be great to use as a lefthanded macropad. [I know this from building my own 4x4 macropad with a RP2040] Which has room for 10 layers, and over 50 macro's [tapdance, combokey's etc]

Bumped into your channel today. Excellent video content. My cluttered, disorganized desk will thank me for tuning in.

I've got Keychron V10 with extra 5 macro button and it's very useful. Copy, paste, select all, find, and alt+tab are now just one click button, just 5 button but bring more speed and happiness 😅. Macropad is my next investment for my desk setup.

such a well made video. you deserve more subs and views

A keyboard that uses VIA could have the spacebar programmed for spaceFn, which would access extra layers for macros without moving your left hand. But I get it, macro pads are pretty cool. Great video!

Love this. Just got one in this week for premiere/davinci. How do you setup these macros?

While the macropad is very cool, what's got my attention is that beautiful monitor arm. I've got a similar monitor - could you share what kind of arm you're using to hold it up? I've got one already but honestly it feels like it's barely able to hold the damn thing up so I've got it resting on some speakers as well to distribute the weight.

Thank you for the review! Could you please tell us more, about how you set up a knob to work as the scrubber in Premiere? I couldn't find any advice anywhere. Thank you!

Streamdeck can be priced similarly and actually shows you what you're about to push instead of you having to remember 120+ keys yourself.

How did create a macro to apply a Premiere Pro effect with 1 click? Is it a premiere pro shortcut or is this something with in the software?

Subbed! Great content bro, getting a lot of inspiration for my own setup. Wanted to ask, are you able to swap out the keycaps for this?

great idea, can build it much cheaper but for productivity this product as a whole looks great and I believe the price is totatly worth it

It would be amazing to see another video where you break down how you set yours up, for those of us brand new to VIA.

The Megalodon's minimal and finished nicely w/ useful keys.

Mine just shipped and I cant wait to try it along my keyboard Decided to get it in pink

Here before this guy reaches 1 mil subs awesome content keep pushing more

Thanks for the review I've been looking into this. I got the same mouse. What brand is that sliding wrist rest? Thanks

Nice detail, and quality video :) and a great desk setup! Where did you get the nice little tray in the back left corner of your desk, around 2:37 ?

hope you get a bunch of followers! from the channel name to the content it caught my eye right away great job!

I've never heard of a macro keyboard until today. Once I get a good setup, and some muscle memory, I think this will make programming CAD/CAM & NC way more fluid.

I'd be curious to know how it works from the software side. I thought it might look like a second keyboard, but how do applications feel about getting input from more than one keyboard? Do they care? If they do care, then you'd to "inject" keypress messages from device 2 into device 1. This can happen at any point before the application receives the event. On first principle it's worth exploring the productivity gains macros themselves give you before buying a new piece of hardware. However in my experience specialized hardware definitely encourages different behavior so its probably still worth getting. This can also point you in the direction of an interesting category of software, which are the keyboard enhancers. These utilities give you "universal shortcuts" that work in any application that accepts text input - like Karibiner or to a lesser extent Hammerspoon (both macOS, I'm sure there are equivalents for the others).

Hi - Great video, can you please explain the macro for opening then minimising a program? I'm struggling with my macro just opening a new version of the program and can't get it to maximise/minimise after opening. thanks.

What a clean video and presentation. 🤯

I just bought this model and it came in but i was struggling eith the customization soo bad on via. Do you have a video how you do it or can you make one.

I feel StreamDeck has the right idea with the little screens. I wish they would add Rotary encoders though.

Great video dude! Very engaging.

Hi, what's your mapping for having effects applied with a macro? I see it searching in the effects panel, but I have no found a way to get it on the clip itself.

Dont forget that VIA writes directly to the board so it saves your macros even if youre using a different PC. VIA also doesnt run in the background and now has a web app so you dont need to install anything

Thank you for this! What is the thing for the heel of your mouse hand?

Love your channel - in your vid (6:10) it shows an ergonomic mechanical keyboard. Can you share a link?

Does it have app specific profiles that change automatically when the app window is active?

Awesome setup and video! Can you share the json file with your macro setup? I'd love to get it working with Premier, but I don't know how...

the videos are sick man

I got my hands on the Xencelabs Quick Keys, and I really like using it for video editing.

Can we set the knob into forward and reverse program when editing videos? Thanks

This perfect to use on my mpc 2 software. It will make my MacBook work like a mpc .

Hi ! This macropad works on Ipad pro? Thank you for your clarification

Please make a video about the stream deck for productivity, really interested on how you would use it since its really versatile

I am interested in your keyboard around 4:30 and the clear rest. Where to get them?

I've been using a razer tartarus for years so the idea is good. I'd like one more vertical row of keys and some sort of space bar for thumb. That would get you ctrl shit esc on the left row, WASD the rest, and can add macros to that. That's the way I use the tartarus for everything

Is the large encoder smooth turning or notched? Great video btw.

Nice device! What is the type of keycaps on your main keyboard by the way?

Hi, I just buy Megaladon. But I really struggling setup on VIA. The knob setting with Macros is not working, like Zoom in out or scrubbing on the Premiere pro. Can you teach me how to setting it?

Can you use the knobs as an audio controller? Using one for main pc volume, one for discord, and one for music?

gat video mate. Is there any chance you can share your wallpaper with s? it is phenomenal !!

Have you tried using it in OBS/Streamlabs/Prism in place of Stream Deck or Loupedeck?

Only 1 min into video but the editing is great. Good cuts, and I like the "slideshow esque" transitions

nice. Can this knob be dynamically used to control values in any levers like brightness, contrast within an app like Photoshop?

Can you program the knob to change the slide(s) in Photoshop/Lightroom/Camera Raw?

grate videos. I was checking this pad out and it looks like there is no on board memory. I have been on and of been looking for something like this but not have the memory.. Any way love the feel of your videos !

I am looking for a knob that can be used for changing playback speed of videos on UKposts channels. I find it a hassle to have to click on the speed controls to increase playback speed. And sometimes it is overshot and I have to rollback a couple of seconds. I wonder if the Macropad solves this problem, so I can immerse more on the content and less on speed control navigation.

Hey Nick, what's the keyboard that is with the ALICE layout?

I love your video❤ Compare to tourbox elite which more expensive three times, which one you prefer to buy? megalodon macropad could totally replace tourbox? If not, why not?

Finally another cool video.

Hey, does VIA/VIAL support profile per software / auto-detect which software you're on?

do the key update shortcut when you change apps? i don't want to be constantly changing "profiles"

I personally love my shuttle pro v2, it is less known but most powerfull than many macro keyboard

Can you provide the macros you are using to maximize, minimize, and open a program

Curious if you can put custom key caps on it?

How did you get the knob to controll the playhead in Premiere?

Thanks for this video! I’ve seen a few of your reviews now and they’re very helpful. However I was wondering, out of the XENCELABS Quick Keys and Megalodon Macropad which one would you say is best for color grading? My main goal with buying a control surface like this is to have a knob that can give me good tactile control over adjusting highlights/shadows/color wheels, etc. Do these control surfaces allow the knob to be used for that in Premiere?

Can you do a video on your keyboard and monitor set up? Great vid!

What is the mouse wrist support you use?

Damn, companies should pay you. You're a master sales man.

How do add keypress to open and hide software? I can't figure it out via VIA

Awesome vid! What's that amazing mouse pad? I need to know

can it send midi CC ? Can you map the wheel to scrubbing inside cubase ( a daw )

are there any similar items but with sliders instead of rotary(knobs). maybe a mix of the two with keys.

Good One was looking the other day for a Solution. Thank you @youtube for the Alogo. Fine Content Quality. Can you tell me where to get this Keyboard Hand Rest ?

The Contour Design - Shuttle Pro and Shuttle Xpress are like this, but look nicer (too me). They are older, so compatibility might be iffy. I love these kind of devices because they can boost productivity/efficiency.
