I turned my old gamepad into a macro pad and I’m more productive than ever

I was looking for ways to enhance my workflow by reducing some strenuous and repetitive actions when I came across the idea of a macro pad. These small, programmable input devices can be used to reduce multistep workflows to a single button press. I can launch apps in my writing stack, execute shortcuts, insert text, and even automate some tedious, repetitive tasks. But then I started thinking about whether I really needed a dedicated macro pad for this.
