Tindie

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.

it just works, perfectly

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!

Probably the best 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 :)

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

- 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

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

Friggin Great

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!

Edgar | April 6, 2021

Great 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.

Dustin | April 1, 2021

The best macro pad possible

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.

Guillaume | March 30, 2021

Everything I hoped for

Great product, simple to put together, beautiful. Configuration is easy, the software provided works well and making it your own is a breeze.

Nicholas | March 26, 2021

Incredible level of customization

I am amazed at how versatile the duckyPad is. With the duckyPad configurator and duckyScript, the possibilities seem endless! The instructions are top notch, and the hardware was super easy to put together. I'm not a hardware guy and I was able to put this together and have it working in 40 minutes.

THANK YOU for including Dvorak keyboard layout support!

I sent a few questions to the seller and he got back to me incredibly quick. Sir, I will buy anything you make. Customer for life.

Swiss Army Knive

I was looking for a tool that I could use to relieve my fingers and this keyboard does just that. In addition, the design is tidy and well-thought-out. Plus it is an Eye catcher with the lights in different colors. The switches are exact and responsive like it should be. The documentation is excellent, a furniture manufacturer from Sweden should take an example from it (^^). I also had a lot of fun assembling it. The Config is easy I think everybody is able to handle it you don't need to be a programmer. I am really happy with it.

Useful as helping hand for Parents:
You can drive your kids crazy with it
- Go do your homework!
- Have you brushed your teeth yet?
- Your internet connection will be blocked in 3, 2, 1 ...

All round great little macro pad!

Wonderful little pad with a screen so I can easily see what profile I'm on and see what key does what, easy to put together too! Shipping was quick (UK) and came well packaged with lots of bubble wrap around the board. Software to make changes or make new macros is really simple to use, has lots of documentation to help if you get stuck and also the Discord server is really handy with lots of people helping each other out. Best macro board I've used yet!

James | March 17, 2021

Great little keypad!

Very pleased with the duckyPad, it arrived within a couple of days (UK) with no issues. It's very easily assembled (the hardest part was getting the protective cover off the acrylic pieces) and well supported with documentation on set up and use, plus the configurator app is a nice touch too.

Tim | March 10, 2021

Excellent

I was able to get these to work with vintage Burroughs B5031 Nixies by wiring the driver boards to sockets for the tubes.

Here's a quick video of the build in progress: https://youtu.be/diAZ7uQRYu4

Fun IoT

It's a fun multi-use IoT sensor that, if clever enough, can be used for a wide range of things rather than just hiding your tabs. Although it does help when you are wanting to be private ;) , it is also beneficial as a security alarm or even a data tracker. Overall, build quality is superb and honestly just a fun toy to experiment with!

Daytripper

This product simply WORKS! Right out of the box! There are many uses
for this product since you can have it do a wide variety of actions on your
computer-- many more than simply minimizing your open windows.

Pip | Feb. 1, 2021

Top Notch - Would Recommend

Saw a cool thing on reddit. Ordered one on impulse. Shipping was a bit more than I was expecting, but it was coming from the UK. Arrived faster than I was expecting. Works great. Very cool. Would buy another thing from them. Would recommend.

Joel | Nov. 6, 2020

works perfectly

Easy to set up, easy to use, works perfectly! the rest of this review is me adding words because there is a minimum of 100 characters for a review. there we go

Johnny | Sept. 22, 2020

This thing is bad ass! I was hesitant about it, but it works

I was hesitant about this product, but let me tell you, it works exactly as described. I have people in and out of my office on a regular basis and the stuff on my screen is private and not something just anyone should see. The sensor works instantly, and the setup was a breeze. Far exceeds my expectations.

Michail | Sept. 19, 2020

THANKS.

I've been buying these for a while now for many projects.
Seller is simply awesome and I will continue to keep buying from him.

Chris | June 9, 2020

all good

Great product and very well documented / supported on Github. The module supports indivudual brightness control for the nixie tube and the backlight RGB Led. The Python librariy for RaspberryPi worked out-of-the-box.

Pawel | April 18, 2020

Excellent modules

These little modules are amazing, I'm ordering another set. Very good documentation on github, with both hardware and software well explained. I built a WiFi NTP clock using ESP8266 (a NodeMCU board) and those - works great. The ability to combine these old lamps with modern microcontroller boards is simply great, and they are very easy to use, even for a less experienced maker.

Eric | Dec. 30, 2019

Excellent product, working very well

Tested 4 of these out tonight with https://www.tindie.com/products/tonyp7/170v-high-voltage-nixie-power-supply/ and they're all working like a charm. The documentation and code samples are great and make it very quick to understand and set up. Thank you!

Kirk | Dec. 3, 2019

Such a simple idea and it works

I love it for my cube at work. I have it set to lock my computer. What I really love about it is that its subtle. Instead of franticly locking your machine when someone enters your cube instead your machine just locks itself which no one appears to really notice since your hands did not appear to do anything. If I have any negative to say it's that its a lot of exposed circuitry. I'm afraid static electricity will break it.

Andrew | Nov. 19, 2019

Works just as I thought

This item worked perfectly it is very fast

Shipping was as i expected from Europe around 2 weeks to the U.S

A lot smaller than I thought which is a good thing and VERY easy to put together and update

%100 percent would recommend this to someone else

Edit: best customer service ive seen... 5 stars

Response from dekuNukem | Feb. 2, 2020

Hi Andrew:

Sorry to hear that you're having some issues. Could you let me know what happened, so we can work something out? You can reach me by messaging me through Tindie.

Best Regards,

Allen

Don | Nov. 8, 2019

top product

Works as per description. will support the builder in the future for his work

great job. couldn't be happier

10/10

James | Oct. 7, 2019

Used as vehicle sensor, works great.

I have a smart home system based on the Insteon platform. I saw this product and thought I could use it with an iolinc sensor gateway to detect if my electric vehicle is parked in the garage - and then operate a cooling fan to make sure heat from charging is expelled. At first, I had some issues with range, but after contacting Mr. DekuNukem, he made a custom build of the firmware which increased the range and added a few checks to prevent false triggers.

The product arrived very quickly, in a well packaged envelope.

Mr. DekuNukem has gone far above and beyond for supporting this project and my unintended use. I had extremely rapid response times to my queries.

This is a great DIY sensor for smart home applications and other hobbies.

Stefan | Sept. 5, 2019

great "little" device

I am amazed with the quality of this "little" gadget.
I bought many things from Tindie but this one is by far the most advanced and well designed product.
Also the Seller was very professional and I felt he really care about his product and also about the customers , something which is very rare these days.

I will use this with a script to ring a bell when someone approaches my man cave from the attic .... I have many "unwanted" visitors all the time :))
Thank you for everything ...

Bill | Aug. 18, 2019

Works perfectly

Works as advertised. Easily connected to AutoHotKey to perform any action - we wanted a Bluetooth speaker to start playing a specific sound when someone walks down a corridor, and the product works perfectly.

Adam | Feb. 4, 2019

Great customer support, product, and documentation

Allen has been extremely helpful in email communication when I had issues and fried 3 boards. He has put together an excellent project on GitHub that outlines all that there needs to know in getting this board up and running to build your own Nixie tube clock! The board is super easy to put together with a soldering iron and can be up and running once you figure out how to use SPI with any microcontroller of your choice. I will be looking to get more in the future to build another clock.

Philippe | Oct. 27, 2018

Very nice
