new version coming soon (outdated)
25Update: A driver is required for the new version of the script, so I will be making a new tutorial, stay tuned.
This works with both USB or PS/2 keyboards, and can turn any secondary keyboard into a handy dandy DIY stream deck.

IMPORTANT:
With the release of V2 of Macroboard there are some changes in regards to the way you inject the HID of your USB keyboard. (Scroll Down For PS/2 Info)
With your LUAmacros HID/PID key you will want to extract specific aspects to input into your script.
For example, in the case of a key like this:
\\?\HID#VID_0C45&PID_7603&MI_00#8&1F43B75D&0&0000#{884B96C3-56EF-11D1-BC8C-00A0C91405DD}
You will want to copy the HID#VID_0C45&PID_7603 parts and type them like so:
0x0C45, 0x7603
This will ensure that the new version will work.
For PS/2 Support:
In order to make the code as efficient as possible, it is required that if you want to use a PS/2 keyboard with this script, you will have to download AutoHotInterception and run the monitor script. This will give you a handle that looks something like ACPI\PNP0303. You will then take your ID and add it to the Macroboard script by replacing the line:
id1 := AHI.GetKeyboardId(0x0C45, 0x7603)
with
id1 := AHI.GetKeyBoardIdFromHandle("ACPI\PNP0303")
(Replace the "ACPI\PNP0303" with the one of your keyboard, but keep the quotes.)
