Love the new aluminum plates!

For duckyPad Accessories

The new aluminum plates make this thing feel solid! First shipment got lost in the mail but a replacement was promptly sent. Very happy!!

A fun and practical computer toy

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

Assembly was fun and easy, I accidentally bent a switch pin but it was otherwise straightforward. The latest beta software (as of 8/6/21) with the ability to update the scripts without removing the SD card is really nice. Like a child with a hammer everything becomes a nail, but in this case the nails are things I type all the time, application toggles, and useful scripts for work.

Great product & service

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

It's a great product, and great, friendly service.

I spent a fun weekend automating things with Duckyscript, and found some great use cases - but the nicest is having a physical button to pop-up a terminal and ssh into a specific AWS server... and then have the duckyPad auto-switch to another profile with appropriate DevOps scripts immediately available. Which means I can use a vanilla OS install, and still have my tools available straight away, without futzing with shell profiles. And then, I can stick it in my bag, and run the same scripts from whichever machine I'm working from. Just brilliant!

Amazing product

For Bob Rewinder: Renew your Bob Dishwasher Cassette

Works well, very easy to use, and the communication from seller was good. Product was well packaged and arrived quickly.

Brilliant little kit from a passionate engineer

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

I always wanted to play around with with building my own macro keyboard but could never justify the time. This little brilliant kit was the perfect solution to scratch that tinkering itch. I really appreciated the fact that the whole project is open source and the "no-bullshit" approach of the maker. The community on Discord is also really lovely.

wouldnt know

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

Fasteners/standoffs didnt come with packaging, so there is no way for me to assemble the product. I sent a message to the seller but I'm still waiting a response

Response from dekuNukem | June 6, 2021

Hi Christian:

Sorry to hear about the missing fasteners, I have sent you a message about arranging the replacements for free, so please take a look. Thanks.

Best Regards,

Allen

Does what it says on the box

For Bob Rewinder: Renew your Bob Dishwasher Cassette

Simply reset the cartridge for Bob dishwasher.
Would love an explanation of all the buttons and what to expect.
I did the reset and put the cartridge back in Bob. But it still said zero uses left.
I did a cartridge status in the dishwasher onscreen display and then it updated the number of uses.
At first I thought it was because it should have been in the Bob rewinder for longer, but that is an instant reset.

But in the end, this device is worth every penny. The difficult part is to find appropriate cleaning solutions in your country.

Christian | June 3, 2021

amazing macropad with awesome switches

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

The duckypad is a dream come true. i use it at work to automate simple processes on the work computer. this works without software on this pc. plug and play. the processing is incredible. the enclosed software allows programming in next to no time.

Ernst | June 1, 2021

Brilliant product

For Bob Rewinder: Renew your Bob Dishwasher Cassette

I ordered Bob Rewinder after reading several publications on Github and other media. The Bob Dishwasher works the best with using a cassette.
Which makes it also an expensive operation when you use the machine frequently (in my case bi-daily). I ordered detergent and rinsing aid for professional use via Amazon.de and waited till Bob Rewinder arrived. With a short delay (communicated by e-mail) the Rewinder arrived together with a syringe.

The product works great. It's a matter of connecting it to an powered usb cable and a slight finger tip on the button. 5 seconds of work. Refilling the cassette with
detergent and rinsing aid takes 5 minutes max of your time. Because I'm using a smaller volume of detergent (1 litre bottle) which is also organic and environment
friendly, it's not that cheap as the example that the creator of Bob Rewinder describes in his documentation with jerrycans. But for the total costs of this product + the detergent/rinsing aid, it's for me 7 x cheaper as using the original Bob cassette. Which goes up in the future when you only use the detergent / rinsing aid ingredients.

Also thumbs up for the on-line documentation !

Todd | June 1, 2021

Awesome experience!

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

The macro pad was shipped fast. I am amazed with the detailed documentation for this product. The macro pad can be programmed by hand or with an app. I was able to assemble the pre-soldered kit in less than 30 mins with the instructions online. Great job!

Lionel | June 1, 2021

CORRECT !!!!

For Bob Rewinder: Renew your Bob Dishwasher Cassette

Product conforms to specification.
Very serious and professional seller: I had the opportunity to correspond following a technical detail with him and I had an answer within 5 minutes ... problem solved.
Perfect.

Paul | June 1, 2021

Perfect

For Bob Rewinder: Renew your Bob Dishwasher Cassette

Everything is perfect. The Bob Rewinder is working well, very easy to use, and the communication with the selle was very good (on Tindie and Github).

Nothing much more to say :)

Dae-Young | May 25, 2021

Great macropad!

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

I ordered aluminium case version with a blank key cap. It's beautiful yet functional. One thing that I am worried about is that the display does not have protection plate, but it looks okay.

Robert | May 24, 2021

Freaking awesome!

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

DuckyPad is well built. Very well build. All solder points are spot on, acrylic plates are perfect. The instructions are clear and the community is always helpful. I can not gush enough about this. It has helped speed up my work flow immensely.

Thank you!

Jordan | May 24, 2021

I love my duckypad

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

I have been searching for a macro board for a while and chose this one. It is fully customizable and with the new auto profile switcher this thing is amazing. When a different program is the active window the duckypad will change profile to match. The docs are great and I was able to get help on the duckypad discord through some discussion. Cannot recommend this enough. I am a developer and have profiles for SSMS, vsCode, Visual Studio, Windows Terminal etc. The terminal one is helpful because it can open a win terminal, create multiple panes and change directories to working folders all with one button and I have the default for multiple projects. I suggest setting up a git repo to track your profiles and settings. Have fun

Andy | May 23, 2021

works great nice and easy to use too.

For Bob Rewinder: Renew your Bob Dishwasher Cassette

Works great and easy to use with good online instructions. the board does come bear however a case can be printed from a design on thingiverse for free

Pedro | May 12, 2021

Nice Pad

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

I love the options that this pad offers, only downside is if you want to do an WASD keyboard to play, it not works very well ( tryed on league of legends)
Otherwise the support was great, 1st package got lost and they send me one tracked to ensure the delevery ( got it like 5 hours ago) bought april 03.

Hope that the updates fix those minor issues, keep things going, because it sems like great product for home and for work :)

1 big downside it's that Symantec antivirus keeps deleting the configurator file...
I tryed the new one and he looks like corrupt

Marcos | May 10, 2021

Excellent macro keyboard

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

Excellent macro keyboard. It was a pleasure the assembly and the customization. I like the general feeling of the device. The keys keep very well attached to the pad, the keycaps with the colors look amazing.
The only flaw I can tell is that the ribbon which connects the device with the screen looks like it can be broken easily, because it has no protection.

Carlos | May 4, 2021

Amazing little macropad

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

Really good macro pad with simple and easy to understand instructions, has a lot of potential to help with work flow and streaming especially if you have been considering buying something like a stream deck

Caleb | April 21, 2021

Absolutely wonderful in all regards

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

I was looking to build a macropad for my girlfriend as a birthday gift. She's a graphic designer, so you can imagine how helpful it could be for her. I couldn't find any build kits until I found the duckyPad. I am so happy I bought it. The think is incredible, and DekuNukem is an amazing guy. The Discord server is very active and will answer any questions you might have. 10/10 recommend

Philip | April 21, 2021

Well made, well designed, masterful execution

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

I was late to the crowdfunding party, and eagerly awaited this project on Tindie. I was amazed by the display of the item, the execution, and its capability and cost. I could build something myself at a much larger cost, and fumble the execution. This checked all my boxes and with polish.

I was really excited that DekuNukem refined the product, continues to improve it, and put it together so well. I appreciate the fast shipping and overall user experience. I'm still trying to learn how to get the most mileage out of this macropad.

Thanks DekuNukem!

James | April 13, 2021

Nice macro-pad.

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

It is a nice macropad. The lights and screen show you which set of macros are active.
I ended up writing a bit of python to make programming it with duckyscript a bit nicer.

The docs warn you to check that the pins are straight when installing the keys.
Definitely do that - if the the keys dont pop in easily, check the pins again.

Christian | April 12, 2021

Great Macropad

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

I really like it.
It was easy to build, and also to set up with the documentation.
I use it at home with apps, browsing, controlling videos, etc.
Durring the pandemic i can't always sit at my desk, on those days i like to bring in a 60% mech so this macro pad is a perfect companion.

August | April 12, 2021

it just works, perfectly

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

I had been looking for a macropad for a very long time, and then I found this product, (the duckyPad). I bought the full package (keyboard, switches, keycaps, usb-c cable) and when it arrived, I assembled it in like 10 minutes thanks to great documentation. It's also very easy to make macros, and now I'm saving a lot of time, because what used to be 5 separate key presses, now is 1 key press on the duckyPad. It's also fairly easy to update the firmware (it worked on the first try, thanks to great documentation again).

And while the keyboard itself has a very open design, it's easy to handle and move it around. But I think it would be really neat if you could buy a case for it (maybe even a protective case so you could put it in your backpack safely).

This thing is working so great, that I might just buy another one for my other devices!

Jon | April 10, 2021

Probably the best macropad!

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

It's an amazing keyboard, you can have lots of macros and there is always space for more.
The green switches and the 32 profiles are a big win, but the app for win/macOS is the icing on the cake. Totally recommended.
The only thing I would change are the two buttons below the display, they are bit tiny for my fat fingers :)

Johannes | April 9, 2021

The macro pad I was looking for, ticks all the boxes

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

- Does NOT need any software to run. Most other macro pads use specific and most of the time Windows-only software, which you have to install, not possible on some servers. If push comes to shove, you can change the key settings with notepad/vim
- Easy to use and learn but still powerful DuckyScript
- Most valuable functionality: You can determine how FAST the pad types the text, very important for chained RDP connections where too fast typing swallows characters
- Useful and good looking per-key RGB backlighting, for example, to differentiate between normal (green) and elevated (red) login credentials
- The OLED screen quickly reminds me what key does what (really ingenious, hope for a bigger one on version 2.0 :), this is a stand-out feature)
- Love that I can set the sleep mode in minutes (and that it actually has one, 10 points!)
- Actively developed by the maker, just got another FW update, and an update for the very good and small (portable, no install necessary, multi OS) key setting utility
- And, let us not forget, half the price of other, less versatile commercial macro pads out there
This is one of these rare devices, where one hopes it does one thing, and that very well, and it turns out it really, truly does AND more!
10/10 would buy again in a heartbeat
Honestly, using this now in production for work for about 3 weeks and am one happy camper, can not imagine being w/o

Excelent customer service

For exixe: Miniture Nixie Tube Driver Modules

Building a nixie clock, these work like a charm and the customer service is top notch! I was looking for a nice slim design for driver boards and these seem to do the trick quite nicely

Miguel | April 9, 2021

Friggin Great

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

I bought this for my wife, who wanted to help automate her use of her iPad Pro. She uses ClipStudio and a few other programs that have key shortcuts that were difficult to multitask while drawing and keeping most of her desk surface open. She found the documentation very easy to read and build, and had her workflow revolutionized in less than 30 minutes total. On my side (purchasing/shipping + communication with the seller), I had a great experience as well; Allen kept me informed of everything.

Would 100% recommend!

Eric | April 9, 2021

Good product

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

This product is a good DIY product, and works a charm for very repetitive tasks demanding combos of keystrokes.
plus the color idea is great addition. good look
thanks

Sebastian | April 8, 2021

Great Macropad with endless use cases

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

I use it for changing status in MS teams, inserting text and code snippets, volume control or for quick access to a lot of functions. Use cases are endless as you can do everything you can do with a keyboard, but at a single key press.
The duckyPad script language is really easy and quiet powerful. The companion app makes editing of the profiles and scripts even easier. Deku is still active doing some bug fixes or adding some features, which is great!
Shipping to germany took about 4 days and it came well packed.
Just check out the GitHub repo for the detailed documentation and guides or ask your question on the discord server.

Edgar | April 6, 2021

Great macropad

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

I was hesitant to purchase the device but once I assembled it and fiddle with it I can say is amazing. Clear documentación and simple assembly.

I will buy another one, it will be a great gift.

Matt | April 1, 2021

Excellent

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

I'm in a frontline IT role and I end up running the same sets of commands frequently this makes things so much easier and more consistent.

I would love to be able to access the SD card from the device since I have one of the files I need to update daily but that is a minor inconvenience for the benefit it gives me with all the other tasks I do regularly. Ideally being able to hold a key or multiple while plugging in that would allow the SD to show up, do the edits, eject, reset, good for the day.

Overall it is a fantastic and useful product that I wish I had found sooner.

Dustin | April 1, 2021

The best macro pad possible

For duckyPad: Do-It-All Mechanical Macropad

I love this thing. I was in on the original Kickstarter and then I loved it so much I came here to buy another one for work. I've got several pages of scripts and every few days I add some more scripts. I'm decent at writing scripts but something about having them so easily accessible makes me write things I wouldn't have wanted to learn increasingly complex key combinations to do. The display is perfect. This whole thing is absolutely perfect.
