Macro keypads

[MilesH]

Now that my Nostromo Speedpad is on its last legs, I'm quite tempted to try one of these:
https://www.infinitton.com/
https://www.elgato.com/en/gaming/stream-deck
Not much more than the cost of an X-Keys keypad of comparable size......

I went ahead and ordered a Stream Deck.

I prefer the landscape configuration (the Infinitton is portrait).

Here it is, armed with Sketching tools. It's easy to set up. Had to up res the Alibre icons a bit. Made a stand for it from a spare ball head. The one that came with it was a bit flimsy and not tall enough.

N.B. There is a major difference between the Stream Deck and the Infinitton. The Stream Deck will only record a hotkey [one key plus modifier key(s)]. So, it's not really a macro keypad. The Infinitton will record a macro, see: https://www.infinitton.com/ise

Interesting. It gave me an idea to use my old android devices as macro keypads and i found this: https://deckboard.app/

Good find Nate! I did a search for apps before but only managed to find one for iOS....

Print out an overlay on a 3D printer and you could use it by touch alone......

Edit: Looks like it only came out this summer: https://www.reddit.com/r/obs/comments/8bg328/deckboard_elgato_stream_deck_alternative_on/
