Programable Keypad
This page lists the best programble keypads.
Why You Need a Programable Keypad?
Here's a sample setup to increase your productivity.
- 4 buttons for {select all, cut, copy, paste}.
- 2 buttons for {undo, redo}.
- 2 buttons for previous/next tab.
- 2 button for close tab , open last closed tab.
- 2 buttons to switch previous/next window.
- 1 button to close window.
- 4 buttons to switch to 4 your most frequently used apps. For example, for programer: {browser, desktop, terminal, emacs}, for artist: {browser, desktop, image editor, video editor}.
- 1 button to switch windows of the current app.
You can also set up keys for shortcut intensive apps, such as Second Life, Photoshop, Adobe Premiere, Blender, emacs.
For general purpose and not expensive, the koolertron is the best. Only flaw is require Microsoft Windows to program the keys.
This is a no-nonsense work horse. Buy one, you get a super keypad, buy 2, you have a split ergo keyboard.
If you want fancy display, get Elgato.
If you want the most powerful programability, software works in {Windows, Mac, Linux} , most easy to use software, and 63 programable keys, get Ultimate Hacking Keyboard.

Sturdy build, but the software is stuck to Windows 95 era. And cherry mx black switches. ugh.
The x-keys are overly expensive.
i don't trust the Loupedeck.
if you don't mind requiring internet to use your keypad, then consider razer.
