Are there any macro pads that can be programmed via a text file stored onboard? (self.mechanicalkeyboards)

I am wanting a macro pad for work, but we are not allowed to install software on them and even the websites we have access to is limited. I don't want to have to use my personal computer or take the pad home whenever I want to make a more complex macro and am wondering if there are any where the keys can be configured using a configuration file stored onboard?

This might work for you, the Pimoroni Keybow. The older version uses a text file to configure it, this new version seems more advanced but might still be a fit for what you’re after.

Giving it a look now, much appreciated.
