CLUSTER ACTIONS-CUSTOM-MACROS · 13 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-06-21

Macro keypad configurators

These apps let users create custom actions and macros for specific input devices, such as KeyForge devices, USB macro keypads, and the Belkin Nostromo SpeedPad n52. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from — only two dated entries exist before the index start, so it predates the index or its members are undated. On traction, keyjitsu leads with 23 stars, followed by n52-dejavu and Codex-Micro with 1 star each.
