This is a custom USB (or USB MIDI) controller with 8 buttons that we can program for any key or key combo. It will work with macOS, Windows, Linux, Android or iOS devices that accept USB devices.

It can function in a number of different ways, which we'll explain below.

Are you using a DM48X Digital MIDI Harmonica with the AUM Audio Mixer app on iOS? Get in touch! We can make it work with that as well. (We call it the "Jason Keene" mode!) Note that we cannot offer support for getting things running so you should know what you are doing. (Or hire Jason to help you out.)

As a macro keyboard it can work as function keys F13 through F20. This allows you to use it with all sorts of software with less chance of conflicting with existing keys. If you are an OBS Studio user you can assign buttons to scene changes, mute to toggle your mic on and off, and anything else that is controllable with key commands.

We can program the buttons for media control. Play/Pause, Rewind/Fast Forward, Prev/Next Track, Volume Up/Down, etc.

It can be a USB MIDI device. There are many software solutions to capture MIDI input and control other software by converting the input to key commands. The real advantage of MIDI though is that applications can receive MIDI input even while not having focus as the frontmost application. (Typically cheap MIDI controllers are larger piano keyboards, something you might not want on your desk.)

If you are doing custom software development and in need of a serial device, this can also fulfill those needs, sending serial data to a computer.

This can also be programmed to work with QLab. It can send key commands or MIDI commands.

Comes with an integrated 6 foot USB cable. Get in touch if you need a different length.

Customization: If no customization is specified we'll program it for function keys F13 through F20. For any customization we'll get in touch with you to confirm exactly what you want.

This 8-button keyboard works just as advertised. I had the seller customize it to output function keys F13 through F20. In prior decades these keys would sometimes be physically present on full size keyboards. Since they are rarely used but still recognized by computer systems, I like to use them to initiate AutoHotKey scripts. I can also hold down control or control-shift on my laptop keyboard and then press one of the 8 buttons to activate additional scripts beyond the first 8. The button colors I received are green, red, yellow, and gray. The top of the unit is an attractive shiny finish and the other sides are matte. The buttons do click audibly so it might not be appropriate for use in close proximity to other people who prefer quiet.
