Each button is about an inch and a quarter square, with a resolution of 96x96 pixels. The number of colors supported is impressive, as is the viewing angle, but at the brightess setting, the Mini doesn’t bask the room in a beautiful OLED glow like we had expected. The 3 frames per second animation is also a bit of a let-down; it gets the job done, but don’t expect anything near fluid motion.

Creating button schemes is a fairly straightforward process. Design the images in a graphics editor or use an existing compatible image file (the software will automatically scale any image). Import it into the program, create a new layout scheme, and bind shortcuts or commands to each button. An animated GIF, will not run as might be anticipated. Indeed, if the user does want to add any sort of animation to his layout, he’ll need to design and program it himself. You’ll need to keep the configurator running in the background if you want to continue using the Mini three. Fortunately, it doesn’t consume that much of your PC’s system resources. Unfortunately, the software is extremely buggy, often crashing or displaying incorrect images or no images at all.
