one thing I've done in the past is use them as controllers for weird sim games; I have an akai LPD8 mini drum pad that I used as a kerbal space program controller for a while, with legends written on the buttons in silver sharpie
ooh that thing is cute! i love using controllers "wrong" in these sorts of ways
im a designer so YMMV but my macropads are all for drawing/design software hotkeys. though if i had THIS particular pad i would absolutely put a macro together for that Logoff button
in reply to @Aura's post:
how do these work, in a technical sense? do they translate to keyboard sequences that you then set up bindings for? do they have some USB protocol that invokes a script on the computer?
so this one has three modes that it can simulate: a USB keyboard, a USB keyboard with media controls, and a media keyboard + mouse. it seems to work by just sending raw hex values down the line that the computer can eat. the macro programming software helpfully converts hex values into human-readable keystrokes and mouse movements and vice-versa so you can create key sheets for them on the fly, and you can only see the hex values themselves if you look under the hood
