Here is my attempt in to making a custom pendant that has programble keys.
This is the 24 keypad i bought on aliexpress, it can be programed to have whatever macro keys you want, i use for ex Ctrl-Alt-Shift-a and so on in order to not have any similar keys on the keyboard itself.
the key caps i designed myself using fkcaps.com the minimum amount was 40$ so i had to make some extra.

This is cool. I’ll have to look into the custom keys. I changed my layout so many times that I’d want to get those done only once I’m satisfied. For now, I’m using stickers. I’m working on something similar with a different 20-button keypad. I should receive it Saturday. I didn’t think of looking at Aliexpress. Certainly more choices than Amazon.
the key lighting can also be customized to be on on key press, off on keypress fade and so on, i chose off on keypress
it also has many profiles that can be done on it , believe it has 4 or 5 , don’t remember
Same as mine. Custom colours and 5 functions per key for a total of 100 possible choices on a 20-key pad. But in reality, keys can probably only fit labels for two functions. Using 5 dunctions would require amazing memory or a separate keymap. I managed to get 30 shortcuts on my 20-key pad using only one function.

They also sell double layer buttons where the top one is clear so just print your symbol on paper cut it out and trap it between layers, temu and AliExpress
