If you wish to create your own .hex file, here is the video tutorial for that:
—FOR THIS VIDEO—
If you want to use a .hex file I’ve already created for you, I recommend this one:
https://github.com/TaranVH/2nd-keyboard/blob/master/HASU_USB/F24/F24.hex
Download, install, and run QMK toolbox: https://qmk.fm/toolbox/
Use it to flash the .hex file onto your converter, as shown in this video.
Download the AutoHotKey installer: https://www.autohotkey.com/download/
Then, download this AutoHotkey script by clicking RAW, and CTRL S to save. (Delete the little .txt if it appears!)
https://github.com/TaranVH/2nd-keyboard/blob/master/HASU_USB/F24_KEYBOARD.ahk
Create this folder structure, and save it here:
C:AHK2nd-keyboardHASU_USBQMK_F24_macro_keyboard.ahk
Now, double-click on it to get it running. A friendly icon should appear in your taskbar. Boop!
Now, try typing into a text document. Instead of text, you should be seeing tooltips. Perfect! Now you can replace those with your own functions, and calls to those functions. It’s all normal AutoHotKey scripting from this point on.

You know, I thought it was just a running joke that you had so many keyboards and macros. I was wrong. I was very wrong.
Lol The Taran is no joke. He is not ironically the keyboard king.
I’d forgotten Taran got laser eye surgery for a second. I’m saw the thumbnail and was like”Who’s that?”
Taran has laser eyes now?!
did linus purchase a new skin? he looks different…
He looks better!
This felt like going back to class after winter break. You said words, I understood those words, but I don’t know what to do with the information.
Words
yes.
Can you make Linus into a Macro?
With a bit of AI probably, should go a bit like this:
Cringy intro skit
Thank the sponsor of the video
Unbox the object of the video
Drop/almost drop the object of the video
Cringy joke with the name of the manufacturer
Something goes wrong, call someone from staff to fix it
Fire Colton
Rant about how great/awfull the product is
Cringy segway to sponsor

Patch 1.0.1 – Added Liniarkable’s suggestions for the outro
+woestewouter96 you forgot check to see where you can buy the stuff he featured 😂, but still, this is an awesome macro
Every few years, the planets align and The Taran is allowed to exit his den. Upon seeing first light, The Taran is confused – Why so few macros The Taran asks? Why does this creature have only one keyboard? The Taran cannot allow this and plans his attack. The unsuspecting computer user is unaware of the fact that it is possible, or necessary, to use 12 keyboards with his computer. As the computer user types away on his single un-ergonomic keyboard that obviously causes far too much overexertion of their index finger, The Taran strikes. The Taran reveals his secret move: ULTIMATE MACRO and the user is completely overwhelemed by the fact that now he must memorize no fewer than 1400 new key instructions on their new setup, but The Taran has claimed victory, for while the user may need to exert far too much brain power and memory, the user may now save his hands from multiple key presses for the rest of their life.
Wow

Holy crap… run Ubuntu, install git, build, install, edit, load, flash, summon demon, compile, sacrifice a virgin, and you’re done… is that all???
Its pretty easy …
+Matěj Bagar I had Fedora, OpenSUSE and Mint for over two years as my main drivers, no dual boot, just linux. I could get the original nvidia drivers installed but the problem started when I tried to install optimus support (switching between intel hd and nvidia graphics inside laptop). I spent over a week in those two years just fixing black screens and doing clean reinstalls. Multiple kernel panics, etc. My roommate was on Arch at that time and he had similarly bad experience. Oh, and you also had to blacklist wifi drivers for broadcom becuase external wifi antenna would not work. Oh, and running my digital piano over asio for wine took me full two days to set up. Great times – and mind you I still use linix almost daily for server stuff since I graduated Computer Science with specialization of computer systems, so I do understand things above and under the hood.
+Matěj Bagar Still does not work on dual GPU laptops: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=236558
+Hadinos Sanosam Not hard assuming everything goes smoothly. In my experience that is 50 percent of the time. And I was not refering to the video, but in general. Just installing nvidia driver on optimus enabled laptop with bumblebee can waste you half a day. And dont you dare update afterwards.
Taran your repository is like a gift from God, thank you
more like a git from god
I guess now we know why Taran was asking how you say Synapse on Twitter
Alright, calm down PewDIePie…
My XBL friend who used to have that monkey profile pic was last online 9 years ago… T_T
this is so sad
Hold on, this isn’t jacksepticeye?
꧁꧂ nice username
Its the default color jack
+GreenSnakeProd same
I watched it just to know if it was him or not
you mean jackspedicy?
I understand having that many macros. He seems good at using them efficiently.
yeah lol same. I respect his boner for macros because I know he’s going to use them efficiently. I question if i’d ever get used to using them well. I’ve never even been able to use 2 monitors..
Go to his channel and watch his 2 video-editing tutorials using Adobe Premiere where he edits LTT vids from start to finish, and you’ll see his macros in action. Those definitely helped him edit videos more efficiently.
Incredible a LTT video that is not a complete waste of time to watch.
But from time to time you guys actually make a video about something interesting.
Unfortunately this one is not that one. so now to take advantage of all these possible macros we need a desk with a lot more space
+Stanisław Szczypuła i am the opposite, i watch everything except the WAN show. And this video was shit
+wielded1 How old are you ? 12?
+Stanisław Szczypuła Nice display of your maturity; someone say something clearly inflammitory, so you immediately question their age.
Taran Plotting to take over LTT.
With a macro
1)Just watch another video of LTT
2)watch carefully as the host speaks the script
3)you know exactly who wrote it…
I didn’t understand any of this but it’s pretty interesting.
In my case it’s too expensive for my budget.
+秋山克子 yea same. Might build it but I’m too lazy lol
Macro keys are different keys you can customize your own shortcuts to. Its really only useful if your using your computer for extreme productivity. Much like a LTT editor.
Is you’re profile really Vsans?
+Andrew Bond You forgot about gaming.
“But _this_ is much easier”
X to doubt
12:49 What in the name of Frankenstein is this? I’m gonna need links to this DIY PS/N64/PC keyboard monstrosity!
No, I’m talking about that DIY keypad that has Playstation and Nintendo Gamecube controller buttons, orange pc keyboard keycaps, and a mouse scroll wheel. That thing is crazy and I must know how he made it.
Not even one minute in, and this is already LTT’s best video up to date.
You haven’t see many LTT videos then…
So you havent seen the red msi dragon vid yet
now i’m just waiting for that RFID chip video…
More Taran please. I know he’s busy with editing, but he’d be an awesome host. Think it over, pleeeeease?
I think that everyone at LTT would be awesome host, but they’re already doing something else (great example of this by my opinion was Max, but Taran also looks good).
