Works perfectly

For PicoPSU Adaptor for Apple II, II Plus, IIe

It worked out of the box in my unenhanced IIe with a 90 watt PicoPSU. My IIe now runs a lot cooler than with the stock switching PSU.

Great project

For USB4VC: USB Inputs on Retro Computers!

The first thing I did when I got my board was plug it in and test the functionality. It worked straight away after I plugged in the correct cap that is! I can’t believe how easy this is. It’s amazing just how compatible this was with my Old laptop. I’m definitely recommending this to all vintage computer users.

This brought power back to my old mac

For PicoPSU Adaptor for Macintosh 128K / 512K / Plus

I had a macPlus that stopped working all of a sudden. I found that this was due to a faulty AC/DC converter. I opted to get the PicoPSU Adapter.
I received the item, did a bit of soldering, and, after installing the picoATX PSU, the computer was back to life.
I really like the quality of the product, the PCB is sturdy, everything fits neatly in place. I'll get on future mods (a fan, linking to the power switch to use the regular switch instead of the "always on" mode.
It is indeed fully reversible (I opted to let the power cable go through the security lock hole), and maybe one day I'll source a reliable power board, but this little blocky computer is happy for now.
The item works with 20 pins nano PSUs, the seller was really kind in our communication, and indeed you can use 24 or 20 pins nano ATX plugs (they are indeed keyed so you cannot make any mistake).
Thank you very much.

Pros :
- Soldering is not that hard, follow the instructions, have some flux at hand, a nice multimeter and you'll be fine
- Works with 20 and 24 pins nano ATX power supplies
- Fully reversible mod (I really like the cable ties that can be opened to remove the wires), and non destructive
- Really easy to install (take care to avoid high voltage parts)

Cons :
- Are there any ? Maybe if you prefer to have your computer non-working. :)

Great product and a great seller.

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

Awesome little "macropad" that is exactly what I was looking for, using it currently for order placement while daytrading and for shortcuts in music production, so I haven't really scripted anything except for making alt/ctrl + keycombos but neither do I need to for current use.
The unit also comes pre-programmed with plenty of stuff to display some of it's potential.
Compared to a steam deck for instance that has mushy buttons that you don't know if they got pressed or not, this unit leaves no doubt on that front, you certainly get feedback without waking your neighbours with loud buttons (I bought the Gateron green switches).

Assembly is easy even with big hands and the assembly instructions shows you every step you need to know.
The only part that was a bit of a challenge for me was placing the switches when using the "Milky translucent acrylic" top plate since it was quite bendy, resulting in that in some positions it was hard to get the switches to snap in place, even resulted in cracked plate in a corner.
When using the aluminum plates on the other hand that part was a breeze, so I'd really recommend getting those if you are buying.

Seller was very responsive and shipments was sent instantly. I even got replacement top and bottom plates sent to me for free when I told him about the cracked plate. Very thankful for that and a great gesture.

If a bigger unit with more buttons gets released in the future I'd probably buy that one as well.
5 of 5 on all fronts.

Amazing piece of work

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

I absolutely love that thing. I spend hours customizing it, I have 6 differents profiles that I use every day.

Great device along with a Pico PSU for retro computers

For ATX4VC: ATX Power on Retro Computers!

I used this module along with a 160 watt Pico PSU to replace the power supply in my precious Atari TT. The module was great, easy to interface with the TT mother board and everything except the 12 volt power supply fitted nicely in the case. Kept the old TT power switch which eliminating passing another wire through the case. Going to do the same with my Atari Mega Ste. Worked out great for my use.

Helping get a basket-case II Europlus running!

For PicoPSU Adaptor for Apple II, II Plus, IIe

Got a Europlus that is missing a lot of parts and has many faults. I agonised over hunting down an original PSU, then the accompanying overhaul or replace the innards with third party products..... On a whim I purchased this PicoPSU Adaptor (for Apple II, II Plus, IIe) with the appropriate PicoPSU and 12v power pack. Assembled per guide. Everything went easily and smoothly.

My Europlus board has a different power socket orientation to the document, so as everyone should always do when in doubt, I consulted a schematic before plugging in a new power supply and potentially frying my old micro. All good so far, powers up the A2 nicely.... lets me get on with the rest of the bug-hunting!

Response from dekuNukem | March 17, 2024

Nice to hear it's working!

You're indeed correct that eariler Apple II has a different connector orientation compared to later ones. I have updated the guide to include both!

A Compact Powerhouse of Productivity

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

The "DuckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad" from Tindie is a gem. It boasts excellent build quality with tactile mechanical keys and customizable RGB lighting, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality. Programming macros for various tasks is a breeze, significantly boosting productivity. While it could benefit from a wireless option and more polished software, the DuckyPad remains a highly recommended tool for anyone looking to upgrade their tech setup with a versatile, portable macropad. Wish I got it sooner!!

Al | Dec. 13, 2023

excellent

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

An excellent build. it has become an indispensable tool in my daily routine. a small investment that yields big returns in terms of productivity and convenience.

Review of ATX4VC

For ATX4VC: ATX Power on Retro Computers!

Excellent replacement for your vintage PCs power supply.

Save yourself time and money from dealing with capacitor replacement and/or problematic heat issues with your current psu while having peace of mind and protecting your investment (with fuses).

Dan | Oct. 22, 2023

Very impressed.

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

Should have bought it sooner, exceeded my expectations and such a time saver. Found the assembly straight forward and had it working well within an hour. The documentation is very well done covering a lot of info.

Joshua | Oct. 3, 2023

Works perfectly, great support

For Bob Rewinder: Renew your Bob Dishwasher Cassette

Had initial problem with the shipping which was fixed quickly. The seller was very friendly and supportive.
It is great to see how much documentation and research is available for this project.
Great product and great seller.

Emese | Sept. 20, 2023

Success!!!!!

For Bob Rewinder: Renew your Bob Dishwasher Cassette

Great! At start it could not recognize the cassette, but I started a washing cycle, did it, and when finished it appeared the icon with 29 washes left. Finally it works.

Chris | Aug. 21, 2023

Fantastic device...Forget other macropads

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

Freshly assembled and now getting to customize it. I did purchase the aluminum version and love the look and the quality. I assembled it in about 15 minutes start to finish. I ran through the preset pages and came ??? and had a good laugh. I had been looking at other macropads for a while, but never pulled the trigger given the reviews.

Ryan | Aug. 1, 2023

super fast shipping!

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

Only a week from the UK to the US, really impressed! i put it together without issue but realized that I don't have the right switches lol. Didn't realize these ancient switches I had were only 2-pin not 3-pin. Oh well, those are on their way and the ducky will be completed soon!

Joshua | July 15, 2023

Infinitely cool and useful

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

I now own 2 of these. my first one did have a quality issue. the screen would work only work when it wanted too. the maker was helpful in sending replacement parts so I could sort it out. thought it was the screen but turned out to be a bad solder joint on the PCB. thought I fixed it with my hot air rework station but the SD card slot quit working after attempting a repair... I use one at home and the other I use at work to automate otherwise repetitive and mundane tasks with the single push of a button. Using Ducky Script, this is a very powerful and versatile device. Ducky script is fairly simple to learn so you can start writing basic scripts in no time. The duckypad I have at work is the cheapest option with basic switches and acrylic case. The one I have at home is the upgraded firm and clicky switches with the aluminum case. I would say to splurge on the aluminum case if you want the ultimate wow factor with you nerdy friends. its heavier and more premium feeling. the only real issue ive had software wise is with firmware updates. Documentation states firmware updates should take seconds. the last update I installed took 25 minutes. it was a nail-biting experience. I thought I bricked it once by aborting the apparently stuck update and got no signs of life from my ducky pad but I was able to put it right back into DFU mode and try again. second attempt, like the first, took forever but worked.

works great and seller is super nice

For Bob Rewinder: Renew your Bob Dishwasher Cassette

Placed the order but it did not come at first,
normaly it would be here around 2 weeks after the order.
i contacted the seller on the 25 day after ordering, he imediatly wanted to ship a new one with shipping info.
i accepted and told him if i get two i will send the other back and 2 days later i got the package.

i used it, it's super simple and works great. thanks a lot

super helpfull seller, he is smart enough to make something everyone with a bob wasschinmaschien can use. and is willing to share his genius with the rest.

Amazing gadget!

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

I've been using this for about 2 years now and it's been a great companion to my games. For the longest time it helped with some shortcomings of Fallout 76's gameplay experience (crafting one ammo item at a time instead of bulk options) which are now fixed. Then I got into GTA 5 and found I could script a number of useful actions to run while using a game controller in tandem. And I'm sure that's just a drop in a pond of what this thing can do. Love the aluminum plates as well!! Looks great modded with a white OLED screen to go with it.

Tsuf | April 24, 2023

Amazing product and amazing seller!

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

I was looking for a macro pad that can support multiple profiles for different kinds of activities.
I stumbled upon the duckyPad and immediately placed an order! The product looked really good and the documentation was very detailed.
The shipment took a bit longer than expected so I contacted the seller. After a very quick correspondence in which we couldn't find traces of the package, the seller simply sent me another one that arrived within a week.
Amazing service for an amazing product!

Dante | April 17, 2023

Great macro pad

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

I've been using this pad daily for over two years now and it's worked perfectly without issue. The lights under the keys sometimes flicker if you touch the cable, but it has no effect usability. Highly recommend!

Powerful Versatile Silly Little Guy

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

I love my little guy. I'm not very mechanically inclined (I fought for my life to build my own PC), but this bad boy came together in like, less than an hour! My only mishap was my butter fingers losing a standoff, but Mr Allen so graciously had a replacement sent over to me!! (Many thanks again <3)

He's really beautiful! The lighting is gorgeous, and the screen is just the right size for me. The screen is really a highlight, honestly - I have tried mapping shortcuts into layers on my keyboard, but I have -5 memory and never remember what function I mapped where. The screen truly is my holy savior because I don't have to remember anymore... Also it's cute and it makes me feel stylish. Being able to plug it in and go and switch between profiles... truly what I consider Functional (TM).

duckyScript is also fantastic! I am a decent programmer, but one certainly need not be to understand how to configure their own keys - I personally find it very intuitive, and is great for beginners and power users alike!

I cannot recommend this little guy enough! If you're looking into a macropad, this guy for sure needs to be on the list!

Jose Jaime | March 29, 2023

INCREDIBLE

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

Such an amazing product, the seller has been more than willing to go above and beyond to deliver, I'm in Mexico and it arrived a few weeks after shipping, the quality is amazing and community is awesome, looking forward to learn from this and play a bunch with my new duckyPad

Jeroen | March 6, 2023

Very nice tool to improve your productivity.

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

Since Royal Mail was under attack it was a struggle to get my package to arrive in Belgium. I got great support from dekuNukem, he really helped me to get it delivered.

At this moment, I am playing with this tool, it is a great enhancement for your productivity, and the extra software tools provided are a very nice welcome and make it very easy to get everything configured.

Many kudos and thanks to dekuNukem to create such a wonderful piece of software and hardware.

Just What I Wanted

For Daytripper: Hide-My-Windows Laser Tripwire

I am a very forgetful person. I purchased this because my concern was that while traveling I might leave my laptop open and leave, and then a maid could come in and see confidential information. Although I could set my laptop to lock if there were no activity for several minutes, sometimes I will be looking at a spreadsheet or reading something and I don't move my cursor for a while. There didn't seem to be any solution. Until I found this.

Robert | Feb. 20, 2023

Beautiful, Highly Customizable Macro Pad

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

This device is beautiful and highly functional. I love it! I'm using it for my everyday programming needs.

The one drawback was the shipping, but I chose the cheapest option during a busy time, so it should have been expected. But the seller was very communicative and apologetic about it and even warned me before hand that shipping could be spotty, so I can't really be upset. The only thing I would recommend is that if you want this sooner, pay for the expedited shipping. Otherwise the shipping time could end up being longer than expected.

In other words, everything that the seller could control was fantastic.

Johannes | Feb. 10, 2023

Works very well

For Daytripper: Hide-My-Windows Laser Tripwire

The Daytripper works very well without any problems. The possible usage of this product goes well behind of minimizing tabs or locking your operating system.
Regarding shipping: MY shipment was checked by german customs and where forwarded to me without any hassle.
I would buy this again. Thanks!

Riu | Jan. 24, 2023

A overdue review for an immensely useful product.

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

The DuckyPad has been a great help in maintaining my workflow with my new Cinitq (which lacked any usable buttons), it was easy to put together for someone who has never dealt with DIY keyboards before and I was provided with clear, polite and efficient support for an questions that I had.

A wonderful product.

Thomas | Jan. 15, 2023

Awesome!

For Bob Rewinder: Renew your Bob Dishwasher Cassette

Fantastic communication and fast delivery. Great price and worked perfectly first time with no issues. Lots of information on how to use the product was supplied with very easy to follow instructions on the github. Including alternate solutions that didn't require a purchase.

Mitch | Dec. 19, 2022

Great Product with Excellent Support

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

The kit arrived in about 2 weeks (to US) as indicated and was very easy to assemble. After reading other reviews, I ordered the metal plates which are very stable. I also ordered the keycaps here but added my preferred switches (Cherry MX blue). The docs are very thorough and the software works well. I was getting a few software errors and the maker replied very quickly with solutions. (Problems turned out to be caused by the microSD card and reformatting did the trick.) The profiles are stored in a simple plain text format and every time you make a change it also backs up to the system drive. (After reformatting the microSD, simply dragging the last backup to the card restored everything.) The screen and keylights are nice and bright and the scripting is robust enough to do complex multistep functions. The screen really sets this apart from competitors -- very handy to see directly what each key is set to do. After just a few days, it is amazing how many uses there are for the device. This is a great product that is very well thought out and designed. Highly recommended!

Flavio | Oct. 2, 2022

excellent

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

Excellent hardware, very fast shipping, product arrived in the EU within a week and no duty in spite of Brexit.

There is not a single other macro keyboard or macropad with the same capabilities. I really don't understand why nobody manufactures anything similar.

Very useful for office work when having to work on different computers and repeating text. Text can be saved on a memory card and then reentered, saves time wasted for copy-paste.

Frandu Ii | Sept. 20, 2022

Well built and very useful utility wise

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

Ordered a DuckyPad and was surprised with how useful it is with my workflow. The Duckypad is physically well built and compact enough to fit in my busy table without getting in the way. It is well documented with its user friendly documentation on git and it is also fairly simple to build with ease.

Overall The Duckypad is insanely well developed, am impressed with its capabilities fit into its small form factor.

Martin | June 17, 2022

Duckypad is an awesome product and very well built

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

Ordered a duckypad from this seller. I'm seriously surprised on the quality of the physical product and the software. So much, that I had to order another one. I love the features of a duckyscript programmable keypad. The model I've ordered is the one with aluminium plates and it's very professionally done.

Fkinx brixit

For Bob Rewinder: Renew your Bob Dishwasher Cassette

I live in Denmark and just got a shipping duty/toll of 182 DKK ( 20,37 Pound sterling ). Be aware if you are not located in Britain. I Don't get it, EU has a trade deal with Aliexpress, but not with Britain.

Julian | Feb. 28, 2022

excellent, beautiful and useful

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

The only bad thing was the 2 week wait, but it was worth the wait. It works perfect, it looks just like it is in the photos. I've been playing with it for a while to take advantage of it
