Six-Key Macro Keypad

The iC six-key macro mechanical keypad is a compact wired input device built for gamers, designers and video creators who need dedicated programmable buttons. Its small footprint fits beside a full-size keyboard without crowding the desk, and the ambidextrous layout works for left- or right-handed use. Onboard memory stores six custom shortcuts so the keypad works on any machine once programmed.

Hot-Swappable Push-Button Switches

Each of the six keys uses a push-button mechanical switch that can be removed and replaced without soldering, letting users change the feel or replace a worn switch in seconds. The switches are mounted on an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene chassis and the unit connects through a single USB cable that also supplies power. No battery or external adapter is required.

Windows Configuration Then Cross-Platform Use

Macros are created with the downloadable Windows utility; after saving, the stored profiles function on macOS and Linux without extra software. The keypad plugs into any free USB port and works alongside other keyboards without conflict. Buyers who need more than six programmable keys or a built-in display will need a larger macro controller.

Questions about this item

What can I actually do with six programmable keys and the knob on this keypad?

Each of the six keys can store a macro of up to five characters, while the knob adds a second input for volume, scrolling or any custom shortcut you assign in the Windows software.

Does the USB-C connection limit how fast macros trigger compared with a full-size keyboard?

The keypad uses a standard USB HID link over USB-C, so macro commands fire at the same USB polling rate as any other wired keyboard — no extra latency from the interface itself.

Will the hot-swappable sockets accept Cherry MX switches without soldering?

Yes, the board is built around Cherry MX-compatible sockets so you can pull out the supplied push-button switches and drop in any MX-style switch by hand.
