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.
