    I put my lenovo laptop into yoga mode.

    Can't access the keys very easily, especially shortcuts that require two buttons to be pressed at the same time.

    I've programmed my wacom pen to do a few things but that is only 3 buttons.

    Is there a USB bracelet that will let you program certain buttons to it?

    I feel like something like that should not be difficult to build on my own or have someone build at cost. What would I need to get started?

    Or something like a wearable leg keypad that can be turned off and on with a switch. Either way, the leg band or arm band would have to be adjustable tightness and I imagine the leg one would need more than one band to wrap around

    Will a software solution work for you? If might be convenient to add some on-screen shortcut buttons.
