Paddy radically improves the workflow in Lightroom 3.x by allowing you to assign any adjustment setting - including moving the sliders and applying a preset - to keyboard keys, your number keypad, external keypads, a MIDI controller or a MIDI keyboard. This gives you all editing (and some other) tools of Lightroom at the push of one button. You do not need the mouse any more to get to presets or to adjust the sliders. Paddy also has a full scripting engine for most functions in Lightroom.

Paddy supports 3 external keyboards natively, including the Xkey Professional 58 key external keyboard. Paddy also supports the Behringer BCF200 and BCR2000 Midi controllers natively, and any other Midi controller if you are willing to work a bit. You can also map Lightroom functions to notes and chords on a Midi keyboard.
