Basically, I'm a photographer and I use a Wacom table quite a bit. The problem is the keys on the table are horribly designed and also force my hand in an unnatural position so I'm looking for a  small wireless macro keypad (like a Max Falcon 8 key, just wireless)or numpad that I reprogram  to use while I'm editing

 

From what I've read no such macro pad exist currently (i'd be happy to be wrong)...

 

So i think my best chance is to try and take a wireless numpad and reassign/reprogram the keys...

The only trick is not really sure how to do that :)

any help or suggestion would be highly appreciated

Depending on how many keys you need, a wireless numpad or even a small wireless keyboard if you need more keys would probably be your best option. Personally (I know some people will say its outdated and such), I use HIDkeys (HIDmacros, my bad) for my macro keyboard at work. The thing what I like about it is that it can tell the difference between as many keyboard you add to it and you're about to do a large amount of key combinations and macros with it, and since it was pretty popular, there's a lot of postings about how to do certain things with it.

Thanks i'll  give it a try

I dont think ill be using more than 8-10 keys. it's mostly for simple functions like zoom in/out (Ctrl and the +/- key) and stuff like that.

That'll probably be your best guest then! You're able to do a decent amount with the scripting on it (don't worry, it's not as daunting as it seems) but that'd be my best advice for it!

 

(Note: I misquoted the app, its called HIDmacros, NOT HIDkeys, my bad)
