There’s no big reason why remapping couldn’t be done in a way that doesn’t require actively running software on the host machine. QMK, the open source firmware for keyboards has had this for years. You can update your keymap with an online editor, but once it’s flashed, your mappings will be remembered regardless of which computer/phone/whatever you use the keyboard with - without having to run any software besides the OS on the host.

Have you considered a numpad layer? They’re great. All of the speed and convenience with none of the wasted space or extra arm movements.

I have a numpad for both hands on my Redox :-)
