Frequently Asked Questions
What is a macropad?
A macropad is a small programmable keypad that sits beside your main keyboard. Each key can be assigned any shortcut, macro, command, or automation. TechyPad is a premium macropad designed for Indian power users who want to cut repetitive tasks and move faster.
How is TechyPad different from an Elgato Stream Deck?
The Stream Deck uses LCD buttons and software-level macros. TechyPad uses real mechanical switches, giving you hardware-level remapping and macro execution. It also features a stunning 1.54" display for system status and custom graphics, supports wireless BLE, and costs far less than an imported Stream Deck in India.
Does it use QMK/VIA firmware?
TechyPad uses its own custom-built intuitive software instead of QMK/VIA. Our cross-platform configuration app allows you to manage profiles, icons, and macros with zero coding required, providing a simpler and more powerful experience out of the box.
What switches does TechyPad use?
TechyPad uses 9 hot-swappable low-profile mechanical switch sockets. This means you can easily swap the mechanical switches in seconds without any soldering to match your exact typing preference.
Does it work on Mac and Linux?
TechyPad is currently fully plug-and-play compatible with Windows. We have plans to add macOS and Linux support in the future based on demand.
