Falcon-20 RGB Programmable Macropad Mechanical Keyboard, Cherry MX RGB Switch, Wired, Number Theme, QWERTY Layout

I needed a macro pad that I could move between machines and which would work without drivers. That last point is important - most of the big name "programmable" keyboards need drivers installed to actually run the macros.The MAX-20 operates as a keyboard wedge. Once programmed (using windows software) it's just a USB keyboard and emits whatever keypresses you assign to each key (including modifiers, ctrl/alt/delete etc).It works great - the backlit cherry switches are just the icing on the cake.

Mine arrived with malware, be cautious

I ordered this because I recently broke my left wrist and am temporarily unable to use my left hand. That makes it difficult to execute PC keyboard shortcuts than require more than one key, such as Ctl-C or Ctl-Alt-Delete. The software for the Falcon-20 is pretty intuitive to use. It took a bit of trial and error but I was quickly able to program keys on the to Falcon-20 execute the various multi-keystroke combinations with one key.I also assigned Falcon-20 keys to type commonly used text strings such as my full name, e-mail address, etc. This saves time when filling out internet dialogs.The unit is built solidly. Some of the youtube reviews I watched showed that the bottom was not enclosed, so the circuit board was exposed. The manufacturer must have changed the design because the unit I received is fully enclosed - the circuit board is not exposed.I am pleased with this device and I am sure I will find it useful even after my wrist heals.

Didn't work well at all, and one of the two USB ports was DOA. Software was finicky although build quality was nice. I was disappointed but moved on to a different keyboard that had macro functionality baked in, so I didn't need this anyway. Mind you, this was a year ago (I forgot to review until now) so at least the software may have improved.

Each key and its LED color/intensity is programmable using the app, and the app is use friendly.The programming is saved into the keypad itself, including the layers, so you can just disable the app in the startup menu after programming the keypad.Changing layers will show an OSD which layer you switched into. If you don't want this OSD, close the app from task manager and disable it from the startup menu as well.There's a switch that lets you change which USB port will work, if you want to change to portrait or landscape orientation.Unfortunately, the app display stays in portrait, so programming in landscape can be a little confusing.The switch to change USB port is deep in the housing, so you'll need to switch it with something like a toothpick or small screw driver.3rd party keycaps can be difficult to insert when on landscape orientation, but not impossible and not damaging.Included in the box are two legs for inclining, four silicon caps to cover the screw holes below, and MicroUSB cable.There are four screw holes under the keypad. The two legs are threaded into these holes for inclining.The only thing I think it lacks is a wrist rest. It would be good if there's a wrist rest that can also be screwed into the screw holes.I resorted to getting a mousepad that has wrist rest for this, I'll just put the keypad above the mousepad.

Solidly built, the Falcon-20 keyboard by Max Keyboard is an invaluable addition to your system. I use it to quickly apply shortcuts (accelerators) to Microsoft Word and Adobe FrameMaker.It's easy to 'program' individual keys and while the keyboard has 20, there are 5 layers, so there are a possible 100 macros, shortcuts, key replacements, etc.

Abosolutly love this keypad. Used mainly for OSU! and I can’t stop using it.
