Recently my friend who went through a head surgery and ask me for one of this macro-keypad. I am like: Sure, it is so cheap and you seems in a terrible mood, you can have one for free.

So I gave him one. And the next day he told me that he is using his laptop with this keypad so he could be streaming songs and music, control playback from his own server just using 4 fingers, while lying in his hospital bed.

I am like: Dude, how smart is it you use it this way!

He also told me he is using this to skip through his anime collection so he could finish the whole 2 seasons of Yuru Camp during his hospital stay. What a cool assistive tech this could be :D
