Marketing has not become UX research/design, you can't possibly know what UX design is and say that.

Keeps happening, I've had to fix my GRUB install more than once because Windows "inadvertently" overwrites the UEFI partition.

A pair of would-be developers with links to an international gold mining company have lost their legal fight for $5.5 million in compensation after a rural acreage they were land-banking near Coffs Harbour was swallowed up by the Pacific Highway upgrade.

Couldn't have started in a worse way if you wanted my simpathy.

I don't think there is any commercially available macropad that allows remapping without compiling. A custom macro with a controller that runs MicroPython though, like the Raspberry Pi Micro, can be modified by changing the source code, so no extra software needs to be installed. See this as an example https://blog.4dcu.be/diy/2021/04/05/Macropad.html

If you have enough light, close your aperture to something like f10 or higher, and increase your ISO to some value where you're comfortable with the noise, like 6400. Test different shutter speeds depending on the action that you're trying to capture, but the small aperture will help with the focus.

Maybe try manual focusing too, at small apertures you can set a large focus plane that will capture all the action.

Relatively easy to whip up yourself for little money if you have access to a 3D printer and a soldering iron. Get a RP2040 development board for $2, 9 switches and keycaps and hand solder them directly, you don't even need to source diodes.

Predicting behaviour based on patterns is a pretty common human ability, and wouldn't you know it, they were right.
