Product Description

The DOIO KB1601 Macro 3 Macro Pad is a compact, programmable input device designed for users who need additional control options beyond a standard keyboard. It suits professionals and hobbyists who want customizable macro keys combined with rotary knobs for precise adjustments. This pad works well as a supplementary tool for creative workflows, video editing, or software that benefits from layered commands and quick access controls.

Key Features

  • Sixteen hot-swappable mechanical switch sockets allow easy customization of key feel and function without soldering.
  • Three clickable rotary knobs provide tactile control for volume, scrolling, or other continuous adjustments.
  • Four programmable layers via VIA software enable complex workflows and multiple command sets accessible on the same device.
  • Integrated OLED screen displays active layers, helping users keep track of current configurations without guesswork.
  • RGB backlighting offers visual feedback and customization, aiding use in low-light environments.

Build Quality

  • Constructed with a 6063 anodized aluminum top and translucent acrylic base, the case balances durability with a modern aesthetic.
  • CNC-machined aluminum knobs provide a sturdy, precise feel for adjustments.
  • Compact size and 0.32 kg weight make it portable and easy to integrate into various desk setups.

Compatibility and Connectivity

  • Connects via USB-C for stable wired communication, compatible with Windows and macOS systems.
  • Supports most 3-pin and 5-pin MX-compatible mechanical switches, including Cherry, Gateron, and Kailh, offering flexibility in switch choice.
  • Programmable through VIA software, which simplifies remapping and layer management without advanced coding.

Trade-offs

  • Limited to wired USB-C connectivity, so it is less suited for users requiring wireless or Bluetooth options.
  • The linear Gateron G Yellow Pro switches may not suit users preferring tactile or clicky feedback, though switches can be swapped.
  • With only 16 keys and 3 knobs, it may not cover all macro needs for users requiring extensive key counts.
