I'm shopping for a new keyboard and I want to move my AHK hotkeys to new buttons, which I can put labels on so I remember what they do. Is there a keyboard that has extra buttons that are compatible with AHK?
I see there are some gaming keyboards, such as the Corsair K57 which have macro buttons. From my investigation, AHK can't handle the buttons directly. I'd like to avoid installing extra software to map those buttons to hotkeys that are used by AHK.
FWIW, I'm using Windows 10 doing software development.
Is there a keyboard with compatible macro buttons?
Re: Is there a keyboard with compatible macro buttons?
What about to create your own application specific (virtual) keyboard layouts using a mobile device?
With Matric (Android) OR 'Touch Portal' (Android/iOS) (or other similar apps) you could assign AHK scripts to an app specific button layout that you've created, triggering your PC/MAC/Linux.
And that's, AFAIR, for the price of a cup of coffee. Have phun

Or use two keyboards...
With the AutoHotInterception library (and a corresponding third-party driver), you can differentiate two (or more) keyboards (sth what standard AHK can't do), at least all the "normal" keys.

Re: Is there a keyboard with compatible macro buttons?
I am willing to spend some money since I use the keyboard every day. I'm replacing my old keyboard because the leg that puts it at a nice angle broke off (socket broke). Ideally, I would like everything on a single wireless keyboard with 5 - 15 extra buttons. Maybe I'm being to picky.
Re: Is there a keyboard with compatible macro buttons?
I use the 32 button version of the Elgato Stream Deck... I run tons of AHK scripts using the Stream Deck. I freaking love it. The 15 button version was around $100 bucks on Amazon recently.

100 applications = 100 keyboards… 1000 buttons, or whatever you like…

I used an Microsoft Keyboard Elite for 18 years. It has 24 extra keys and it's wireless.
But now I own the Elgato Stream Deck 32 and it's quite a new world of having specialized keys for nearly everything that comes in mind.
And you can have every key with your own picture, even with animated gifs. Sub menus with separate pictures are possible. The keys are haptic, no touch screen.
That's not a toy but an important part of my working equipment.
The only disadvantage so far is the Elgato keys have a little more distance from the main keyboard.
The interface for the Stream Deck is easy and so is the connection to AHK-procedures. The only additional thing I'd like to have is automatically set pictures and functions to stream deck keys. I'm working on it ...
