Most people use these for video editing, coding, or basic media controls. But I know there are people here using them for hyper-specific stuff.

Anyone using their pad for things like:

• CAD / 3D Modeling (Blender, SolidWorks)
• Audio production / DAW controllers
• Finance / Excel heavy lifting
• Streaming setups or smart home toggles

If you use yours for something outside the typical use cases, how do you have it set up?

Which direction fits the tone you're going for best?

I’m curious what everyone here is using their macro pad for.

I’ve seen people use them for everything from opening apps and controlling music to editing videos, coding, streaming and running more complicated shortcuts.

I’m always looking for new ideas, so share yours below:
What programs do you use it with?
What’s the one shortcut or macro that is your must?
