A macropad is a small keypad used alongside a regular keyboard. Each key can be assigned a macro that combines several keystrokes, a program command or a shortcut, and some models also include rotary knobs.

Macropads are common in work that repeats the same actions, such as video editing, streaming and programming. Many are built by hobbyists, who use open-source firmware to define the key layout and behavior.
