- ChonkerKeys macropad owners on macOS
- Worth noticing
- It detects meetings about once a second; only one process can own the CDC port, so the official app must be quit first.
Field notes
The compatibility list names Zoom, Teams, Meet, and Slack huddles, with Slack handled through host-side remapping rather than a firmware layer. The page says the Original and Max pads are supported and gives a command-line option to keep shortcuts aimed at the live meeting without changing the pad’s layer. It also warns that the official app and OpenChonker cannot use the CDC port at the same time.
