Developed by Versatile

Introduction

The Macro K1 is a fully programmable macro keyboard with 12 mechanical keys featuring replaceable keycaps. It includes two infinite rotary knobs with a metal-finished head and an inbuilt press button. A 0.91-inch monochrome OLED display (128x64 pixels) provides an intuitive interface for users to see active modes and configurations.

Unlike traditional keyboards, Macro K1 is built for shortcut automation, reducing multi-step actions into a single key press. For example, shutting down a PC typically requires navigating through multiple options, but with Macro K1, you can assign a dedicated key to do it instantly.

OLED Display & Functionality

The OLED display on the Macro K1 serves as a real-time mode indicator, showing the active function profile. This ensures users always know which shortcut set is currently applied. The high pixel density (128x64 resolution) allows for clear text and symbols.
