25-key MIDI controller? There are a few people who have gotten AHK to send/receive MIDI, and you can pick up a cheap B-stock controller for far less than a mechanical keyboard.
- qwertox 3y agoI actually have an old Korg nanoKontrol, but when I tested it with Python I had issues. I think it always stopped working after a couple of hours.
- BTWritesCode 3y agoI've done this. I have a Preonic keyboard running QMK[1] and have a dedicated MIDI layer so I can still use it as a regular keyboard if I want to. I then use dannywarren/AutoHotkey-Midi[2] to listen for hotkeys. This has been way more reliable for me than listening for trying to use hotkeys like Ctrl-Alt-F13 or things like that, as they'll never conflict with something I might be in the process of typing. The only catch with that is if you want to use AHK to send keystrokes to a process running in elevated access, you'd need to start your AHK script as Administrator. That hasn't had an impact on me, though.
