BTXETUEL Copy and Paste 2-Key Keyboard SAYO OSU Keypad Hotswap One Handed Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Cherry Switch RGB Backlit Mini USB Keypad for macros or Rhythm Games If you just want copy and paste, it is plug and play. If you want to customize the macro youll need to download the software. I have been using this for a few months now and its fantastic. I love it.

This is a really handy device for anyone using spreadsheets regularly. It was easy to setup and I didnt need to download any drivers. The LED colors and patterns are controlled through a web interface, which is easy to find with the provided QR code. The default assigned functions in Windows is CTRL+C & CTRL+V. This is not the most refined device in build quality or control interface, but it certainly is handy and effective. My only regret is not getting the 3 button version for cut, copy, and paste. I would recommend this.

This is our second unit. The first one works so well in our home office we bought one to take to the big office as well. Real time saver.

This little guy is super nifty. Feels line it has some sort of linear switch inside (Cherry MX Reds?). I like my mechanical keyboards, and this feels pretty good. Ive honestly considered unplugging it and using it as some sort of fidget device....click...click...click.... Functionality: Works just like it says. Plug and play, it does copy paste. Im using it on a locked down work computer, so I havent been able to test out the customazation software yet. No reason to doubt their software, but Im sure other 3rd party programs could do the same thing. Its a keyboard - it can be programed. It also comes with blank keycaps, in addition to the Copy/Paste ones. Youd probably use these if you did go the programming route. The swithces themselves are advertised as hot-swappable...and I believe it. In attempting to remove the key caps (After inadvertantly installing them upside down), I also pulled out the switches. I dont have others to test with, but its a keyboard - if you have switches, it should work. Also, it does use a mini-USB cable. I wish it was USB-C, as most of my devices now are, but not a big deal as it comes with its own cable. Not like ill need to be hot-swapping this around too much.

The web address for Mac OS is a blank webpage. It’s pasting the keyboard shortcut keys for Windows!

NEVER COULD GET IT TO WORK

Let me start by saying I have been involved with graphic design on the mac for over 30 years, as far back as when we were designing color documents on monotone grey screens on those Bloom County Macintoshes. So this review is strictly Apple Mac-centric. I saw this product and ordered it on a lark because although I have never really had an issue accessing Command-C and Command-V, in design, illustrating, and photo editing work, you do a lot of copying and pasting. A lot. I wasnt so concerned whether this product will work with text editors (it does) but if it would work with the Adobe Creative graphic programs like Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Fireworks... (it does). BUT, it is not Mac native and requires quite a bit of technical knowledge that most GDs, ADs, and writers probably do not have. Okay, the first surprise is that when you open the package, the whole thing is unassembled. You get the base unit, USB cable, 6 key caps, a key cap puller, and a sheet of instructions about half the size of your cel phone (see pictures). The instructions are not step-by-step and do not tell you what to do. So, I figured out that you need to attach the key caps to the base unit, however you like, I chose a black copy button and a white paste button, left and right. Then you plug the base unit into the USB cable and then plug the other end of the cable into the Mac. The mac will tell you that the keyboard is not recognized. This is where it starts getting technical. Dont try and recognize the keyboard, it wont work. Click cancel. On one side of the instruction sheet are QR codes. Use the QR code marked SOFTWARE which will lead you to a website where you can download a zip file called setting Expand setting and look for the document called notes for mac or linux.txt In that file you will find the instructions for how to configure this product for the mac. I provided a picture of those instructions. If you do not understand the picture, forget it, you will not be able to figure this product for the mac. Because you have to open up Terminal which is in the Utilities folder of the Applications folder. Terminal is a command-line interface, so if you have no experience using command line instructions, forget it, dont buy this product. The first instruction tells you to us the cd command to change the directory. If you do not know how to use the cd command to change the directory on your specific local system, then forget it, dont buy this product. If you continue, the rest of the instructions work fine, except at the end end when you have to go to the SayoDevice website (again with barely any instructions). Then at the website, you can assign the keys to the product. Turns out you can configure the keys into any configuration that is accessible by keyboard, but to get the command key you have to choose the Left GUI (win) which is the instruction for the Command key. So you set up the keys the way you want, click the button to save the instructions to the unit, which it does, and then the keyboard will work. Once it is configured it works very well and flawlessly. But if I hadnt started my undergrad education as a computer science major, I would have never figured out how to configure this thing for the mac, with the instructions written by a non-native English speaker Engineer and not a technical writer. Anyway, I used the product to edit some text and a photo in sphotoshop. It works without issue. In fact, I may change the paste button to Command-A which is Select All in adobe products since I know how to configure this thing now. But for the love of Pete, if you have never used Terminal on the Mac, do not buy this product.

I got this on a whim and overall it works as advertised and is designed pretty nicely. Its more a question of just how practical it is. I touch type, so hitting Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V is much faster than taking my hands off the keyboard to go find the right key on this dedicated keypad. If I had an application where I was doing absolutely NOTHING but copy and pasting, then I could see it being useful, but frankly I cant say that Ive ever had that condition in 40 years of working on computers. Certainly my fair share of copy/paste, and a few cases where yes, this might have been handy, but not enough that Ive ever wanted to build one of these (although I have built stuff using keyboard encoders before, which has been possible for a long time). Even with the programmability, I cant imagine very many games where only two speed keys would be much advantage to moving your hands away from the keyboard. And given the price point where you could buy a whole keyboard for the price, again, not sure of the value proposition. Buy a cheap $10 keyboard and glue the control key down! =) But, if you have a use for it, it works, which is why Im not dinging it for anything but the price. For me though I think my whim was a waste of money.

The thing works as advertised once it connects to the computer.

my hands are too small to fit ctrl c ctrl v so this is nice the clicky sound is cool too
