One day, I was browsing Temu, when I came across this 6-key macro keyboard with a twist knob, and it's for a ridiculous price of like... $13.93 with free shipping. So I ordered one.
It's here, and it's exactly as advertised... Except for one thing: there is no manual, and no driver. There is NO paper in the box either. And the listing has no instructions.
However, it is basically this item on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Programming-Keyboard-Mechanical-Photoshop-Software/dp/B0B7B4MP29/
At least the Amazon seller put up a link to their copy of the driver:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MvJGXrs-HVSmthIK4Z8NJZKMB8Ha4ZSr/view
Which I have scanned and tested. And it works for the Temu one too. It's the same board.
The program needs to be unzipped and copied to a directory on your HD. It has no "installer".
The EXE is called "MINI Keyboard V02.1.1"
The interface is also pretty crap, But basically, it goes like this.
- The "keys" are mapped to KEY1-KEY16.
- If you only have 6 keys, then only map stuff up to KEY6.
- The twist knob is mapped to K1-Left, K1-Centre (sp), K1-Right, as there is only one knob.
- If you have multiple knobs, I'd imagine they'd be K2, K3, and so on.
- Connect it to PC with the cable (through hub is fine), and you should get "connected" message on upper left.
- Click on one of the KEYx buttons to map it, then click on the bottom half, to flip through the combinations, then the actual key you want it to send.
- EX: I want KEY2 to send CTRL-ALT-M (which happens to be Microphone Toggle in NVIDIA Shadowplay) so I click on KEY2 (it turns red), then go to and click on ctrl-shift-alt to switch to that tab, then click on ctrl-alt combo, then back to "Key" tab and click on M. Then click "Download", which write it to the device.
- There are supposed to be 3 layers", but I don't see a way to switch layers via the keys
- And the LED commands are confusing.
