Review: Great purchase - I absolutely love this product Review: Sensational device for DaVinci Resolve 18! (TL:DR, buy it, it's amazing [Windows 11]) - It's a lengthy review, because it's THAT good. If you don't want to read, buy it - you will not regret it. I have a unopened Speed Editor from Black Magic but it's quite large and I'm looking to sell it, as most of what I do in DaVinci is in the colour page (where the Speed Editor has actually zero functionality in). Ease of Use - 10/10 [just read your damn instructions people!] *WINDOWS USERS* - Make sure your program is NOT set to 'Run as Administrator' - this prevents the software (which make sure you download/follow the instructions) from recognizing it and therefore it can't give the device control, in that software. I disabled Run as Administrator, worked like a charm [this is my fault]. Windows 11 is what I use. *MAC/WINDOWS USERS* - You MUST plug in the device, to enable programming. You can't program via Bluetooth. It does come with a USB A > C cable (device using C, computer using A) to do this. A huge plus is the device does come with a Bluetooth dongle, which works perfectly. It's incredibly responsive. For some reason I was under the impression it didn't, so seeing a dongle was a nice surprise. Quality - 10/10 The device - It feels so nice. The images make it look like it's metal, it's not but it's almost like a brushed metallic plastic finish. Feels nice. The wheel clicks every 1/24th. If you get annoyed by clicks, it's not for you. Personally the click sounds so pleasing, the wheel glides so nicely and feels great. It does come pre-programmed but obviously you'll be overwriting that. The buttons - They remind me of a laptop but they're low profile, feel quite tactile and make a gentle noise when pressed. The USB cable - It comes with feels high quality one, has a 90 degree bend built in for the device and a nice cable tie. It comes with pre-printed labels (attached image). The device does include a Bluetooth dongle that is itty bitty, and so good! Functionality - 9.99999/10 Software - Absolutely *genius*. I looked at other small keyboards I could program, but I really wanted to have a scroll wheel of sorts. I'm glad I waited to purchase and happened upon this beauty. The software is so intuitive, you can either have a governing setting or you can set settings on a per-program basis (which is what I've done, so I have other presets inside Photoshop). You can also in the software ROTATE the device/interface by 90 degree increments, so I have it vertical instead of horizontal with either the wheel at the bottom or the top - are you kidding! You can export/import your presets it looks like [haven't tested], and of course save preset settings to the device (must be cabled to do this). You can also assign labels to them so if you use a button to display your legend (pictured), it shows it. It's so pleasing to look at as well. As you change presets, change wheel presets or push the function button, or even the button itself to do it's task - it displays the label at the bottom of the screen, love this (also pictured) (The reason it's 9.9/10 is that the software executes groups of commands mighty fast, and if you have a pop up that requires pushing enter, it enters the command SO fast it hits enter before that pop up is visible, so it doesn't register. You cannot insert a 'delay' between commands unfortunately, already spoke to customer service on this but I'd love to see this feature in the future) Dial - I was under the impression from the images, that the dial had multiple functions. It does not. It had four programmable functions that you rotate through via the dot in the center. You DO however get a program function for forward, and also for backwards on the wheel. For example, rotate to the right, zoom in, rotate to the left, zoom out. Push the button in the middle and you're into a new set of forward/backward settings. So technically in the wheel, you have 8 functions. (It's great. See the images attached to see 'how programmable' it is) Buttons - There are 10 buttons. If you wish to access the other three programmable pages, you have to assign one of these 10 buttons to swap into the next preset. So imo, there are '36' programmable buttons, not 40. Do I care? No. It actually helps me stay organized, one preset for Edit page, one preset for Colour page, one preset for colour coordinating clips. (See the images attached to see 'how programmable' it is) Battery Life - I haven't had it long enough to test it, but it claims to be great. Customer Service - Stellar. They have an online chat you can access (I spoke to Ann) between from 9am-4:30pm (PDT) and 6pm-3am (PDT) which is amazing. The help I received was quick, informative, super helpful and responded very quickly. Absolutely fantastic customer service. ## Features - Wireless Connection: ACK05 wireless shortcut keyboard supports bluetooth 5.0 connection directly, which is Good Design Award 2023 Winners, providing you a more flexible and clean workspace.

I'm running Windows. I only installed the XPPenWin_ShortcutRemote (Shortcut Remote driver), not the XPPenWin (full driver package) drivers. **Q: Can a single key be programmed to type a sting of text such a s password?** A: I just tried it and it did work; it looks like it can do a full complicated password or sentence. I personally wouldn't recommend it, since it is not a secure way to save a password. Anyone who opens the program for the express keys can see what each key is labeled as and what it types. There is also the chance that you could accidentally press that key while in another field, chat, or email and cause your password to leak that way. Again, I don't recommend it, but it can be done. **Q: Can you pair it with macOS and windows at the same time like one set for Mac and another set for Windows?** A: I tried, and you have to pair one system at a time, you have to basically disconnect from the PC first, then connect to the MAC and vice versa. It doesn't control both at the same time. The pairing is fairly quick and easy but I would not call it seamless. Hope that helps. **Q: Can the buttons be programmed to adjust things like exposure, contrast, temperature, and sharpness in Adobe Lightroom?** A: If you can find the keyboard shortcut to those settings, then it could be programmed to adjust those settings. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great purchase *by A***Z on 13 April 2026* I absolutely love this product ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sensational device for DaVinci Resolve 18!

Absolutely fantastic customer service. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Functions Great on either PC or Mac *by A***R on 4 July 2024* I needed a little shortcut keyboard capable of working across both PC or Mac platforms. This fits the bill delightfully. Being a compact size, the ACK05 has a minimal footprint on your desk. If your PC is running Win 7 or later or your Mac is using OS 10.10 or later, this is a great little device to have. I oftentimes have to jump back and forth between either a PC or Mac environment in my work, so having a little keypad where one simple button press eliminates the need for me to remember which keyboard shortcuts are required for tasks across either OS is wonderful. I use this little guy all the time. Functionally, it's a pretty decent bag. Buttons all feel nice with a proper click to them that the scissor switches provide. The wheel is great for assigning with programs to access things like rotation or zoom options, though I really wish it didn't have indexer-clicks when turning it. I prefer wheels with a silent no-cllck control feel to them...but at this price I'm not going to hum about it. It works, so I'm happy. Battery life is excellent. Work with this peripheral for hours and hours and hours and it runs and runs. I basically just have to remember to plug the USB-C type cord into it at the end of the work week and It's good to go for Monday. Yes, there are flashier and more expensive shortcut keyboard devices out there but I really appreciate this one for its simplicity. I've used the $100 Xencelabs Quick Keys remote keypad before, I found it an extravagant exercise that was more flash than function. Small, slippery low-profile buttons positioned along the outer edges of the unit to make way for an OLED screen with really hard to read tiny text, and some RGB gimmickery thrown in. Battery life on that device wasn't great as I recall. The ACK05 on the other hand has easy-to-press raised buttons across its entire diminutive surface, and if you can use a sharpie and have some Avery labels on hand (I use the removable style tiny ones) you can customize your keypad to some degree. I suppose you could even use cut-to-size sticky colored post-it note paper to add color to the buttons. The ACK05 requires one of the buttons on the 10-button layout be assigned as the "key group switching" button... it allows you to set up and customize 4 possible groups of (9) keys for a possible combination of 36 potentially different shortcuts / actions. That is way more shortcuts than I need, but it's nice to know they're there if you need them. Additionally you can assign a button as "set preview" in one (or all) of the groups. This will display the currently selected groups of keys and their programmed functions on the monitor when you press it. I have that option on both groups of the two key groups I use, so I have 8 keys remaining on each group I can assign functions to. I kind of wish the center-button in the rotating wheel could be assigned something else besides "choose a wheel option: zoom, scroll, brush size or rotate"...AND that they might have included some indicator of which you were in (that would have been an appropriate use of small LEDs I'd argue) if you have the screen-dialogue subtitles shut off because they get real annoying real quick... but it's not a deal-breaker. The XP-Pen software that shipped with the ACK05 I went ahead and updated and it does a good job of making all the options for customization accessible. It was pretty easy to understand and I appreciate that you can orient the layout / buttons manager as displayed on the monitor same as how the ACK05 will physically rest on your desktop. I do not possess the technical expertise to comment on how the ACK05 might be better or worse than other keypads when it comes to the robustness or flexibility of the software and coding, but I will say its been working really well for me between my PC and Apple systems and I have thus far had no problems with it. If I had any quirks to address, it might be that I wish the buttons were a slightly lighter color than the black body of the ACK05 so they'd be easier to see...but as mentioned, that is easily and quickly remedied with application of stickers. XP-Pen does include some in the packaging, but I found it more fun to make my own. In conclusion I think the XP-Pen ACK05 is a very good deal for a handy little keypad that does work well and doesn't cost a lot of money. I've been happy with mine, it's proven to be a little workhorse that lets me get things done more easily. ## Frequently Bought Together - XPPen Mini Keydial ACK05 Wireless Shortcut Keyboard Bluetooth Programmable Express Remote Control with Dial & Customized Express Keys for Drawing Tablet PC MacBook Windows Images Video Editing - XPPen Shortcuts Stickers for XPPen Drawing Pen Tablets and Pen Displays - XPPen Artist Drawing Glove 2-Fingers Glove for Graphics Drawing Tablet Suitable for Right Hand and Left Hand (Size M) Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/732029781-xp-pen-xppen-mini-keydial-ack05-wireless-shortcut-keyboard-bluetooth](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/732029781-xp-pen-xppen-mini-keydial-ack05-wireless-shortcut-keyboard-bluetooth) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
