I’m considering purchasing a stream deck and would just like to see if anyone could advise on this query?
I understand that the stream decks don’t have a power switch on them. Further, if my Mac goes to sleep it doesn’t necessarily follow that the stream deck will turn off, too?
As my Mac is under a desk, I was thinking of plugging the stream deck into a USB extension cable plugged into a port on my Mini. That way I could secure the female port of the USB extension to the side of my desk and then plug in/unplug the stream deck from the extension cable, as and when required. I’m just unsure as to whether it would get sufficient power across the extension.
Appreciate it may sound like a daft question, but from experience, if anyone could advise on whether this set up sounds achievable, I’d be grateful for any feedback. I’d likely not bother with one unless I could operate in this manner.
Cheers.
