OP said "not be code", so pretty sure autohotkeys isn't what they want. Besides that, you can't just turn a 2nd keyboard into a macro-keyboard like that.

Hand, n. A singular instrument worn at the end of the human arm and commonly thrust into somebody’s pocket.

Opps. Time for bed obviously. Totally misread.

There is no easy and free way to do this.

Either it's difficult and time-consuming, or you have to buy a keyboard that works for this purpose.

 

You can get a Razer Synapse or Corsair iCUE compatible keyboard (the latter only if you main board is NOT Corsair) and set macros on that second keyboard. That's the easy solution. Or you can get the HASU USB converter.

The free solution is intercept.exe, which is difficult to setup and maintain, plus you need knowledge of AutoHotKey too. Not the easy solution.

Unless keyboard supports full macro coding, you need to use software, and AHK is most powerful one. But there are helpers, like Pulovers Macro Creator. It works like macro creators of gaming keyboards and you can export to AHK.
