Customer Reviews
Once you set up your macros, it really helps with productivity. learning the software was a little tricky but theres guides online and active forums/discords to help you get what you want.
The macro pad looks and feels very nice to use and, out of the box, allows some basic controls as a number pad and media control device. However, I've had significant trouble with getting any other features to work. Spent way too much time following the instructions on the Wiki and other sources online and can't get this to actually accept any of the settings in VIA. Feels like a waste of $70 at this point as I got it to help save some time with tasks, not to be a time sink.
The device is amazing and works really well once configurated. 4* are because it is really annoying to configure for the first time.
Anyway, you will have to find what rev. did you get.
Rev1: ATMEGA32U4. Rev2: STM32Duino.
If you get REV1 will not be any problem working with VIA.
If you get REV2, bad news cause it is NOT VIA compatible. You will have to flash a third party firmware to configure from VIAL or configure through a Mac O.S.
Hope this helps anyone!
Meets all My expectations - and they where High!
what a terrible experience to get started with this.
removing the key switches took forever, because the switch that comes with it seem very cheap.
and now finding out that VIA doesn't work with it, is sooo agitating even though they say it does. total trash.
In my previous review, I received the Megalodon with a faulty PCB.
Keebmonkey support sent me a new PCB and the macropad now works perfectly.
This macropad is perfect! Thanks Keebmonkey
The Macropad works really well, the knobs all feel really nice to use and are really easy to press.
For VIA use just search for this specific macropad and you will probably find the templates used to import the design, after that it's really easy to work with and changes are made instantly.
The cable could be a bit nicer but you can change it if you own one yourself.
About KeebMonkey: I ordered the Navy version and after asking them about shipping dates they told me that the Navy version had a long lead time for shipping. I asked them if they could change the order from Navy to Black and they did without any questions or extras. Really nice of them! It arrived fairly quickly afterwards.
