I’m working on an AutoHotKey Script to use with a 12 button USB Macro Pad mounted above the door on the enclosure. Would like to find one that also had a D-Pad or similar for xyz control, but for now I dont need that as I am doing that with a wireless Nintendo Controller with AntiMicroX. I plan on rolling the NES controller functions into AHK soon. Probably just glue a magnet on the back of the NES Controller and it can stick to the enclosure next to the Macro Pad, but removable if needed.
Here are the keys / commands I am working on. Trying to figure out the common / always used ones so that I dont have to use the screen. Right now I think this covers everything I need, but I do have 1 open button. Anyone have anything else they find themselves constantly having to do that is not covered?
I’m still building mine, so who knows what this changes to once I start finding a good process flow.
AHK Script attached for those who are interested. Its just a starting point.
