Pros & Cons
Pros
Everything about this keypad is terrific. For simple keystroke copying, great. I have carpal tunnel and had to add a piece of cloth wrapped foam board in front of it to make it comfortable.
X-keys xk-60 makes the process efficient and speedy. Only thing i don't like (other than cost) is the keys aren't like modern mechanical keys, and have the rubber membrane feel.
I like it so much, it sleeps with me now hahaha. Works a charm. I am so glad i took the plunge.
P. Amp;w allows you to create custom key legends. You can highlight a specific number of keys and change the background color of all of them at once. The legends are based on microsoft's segoe fluent icons font.
Cons
However, programming them is extremely difficult. I was inches away from returning mine out of sheer frustration over the software. I will be sending the keypad back since macos compatibility has lagged behind.

If used for long strings of text be sure that the memory capacity can cover all that you need otherwise you will be limited in the number of functions that can be programmed
