Autohotkey is the best though it takes a lot to learn. The easiest is to buy a Logitech gaming keyboard with the programmable "G" keys and comes with macro software to program the keys.

I really like the Logitech G510 keyboard, except for the fact that it's rubber-dome. But yes, the the banks of 18 dedicated keys with custom macros are really convenient (as is the LCD display with the C2DtoG15 monitoring applet)

If one prefers mechanical keyboards instead of squishy rubber-dome keys, there is always the well-regarded Corsair series. http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengea.../dp/B00CERXJNW

As others have mentioned, it's AutoHotKey hands down.
