What is this piece of hardware and its benefits?
Elgato Stream Deck, looks like. Itās a handy way to open apps and run automations from a customizable keypad (down to the images you select for the buttons.) Lots of fans here.

Anyone use the iPhone / mobile version of this app with any success? Gripes? These devices seem extremely efficient and Iām thinking about how I can use this for automation at work. Iād like to try out the app before plunking down the cash on a actual physical configuration, wondering what others have experienced.
Thank you all. I look forward to hearing all about this product at your upcoming podcast @ismh

32 buttons and 20 profiles and counting ā¦
I have TouchPortal which is similar and I like it, using on an old iPad Air2 much cheaper option

Makes me think of Taran from Linus Media Group!
I think more recent videos have shown him with about three or four keyboards.
resistance is futileā¦ you will be assimilatedā¦

The Stream Deck is a very very useful device!

Iām intrigued by the Elgato pedal. Pedals are kind of a backwater so they shouldnāt have trouble standing out if they integrate hardware, software and ergonomics correctly. The grip of the feet is going to be a big deal. Itās almost 2 lbs and even 2.5-3lb pedals can have trouble staying put during periods of intense performance.
cool, even if just used for mic mute on/off and camera on/off and put a loud fart sound under the middle so you know clearly when youāve got it wrong ā¦

Streamdeck when paired with Keyboard Maestro is an insane combination.
For example, I have a StreamDeck button that acts as a ābreakā timer. I use Keyboard Maestro to calculate idle time /etcā¦ and update the buttonās icon with a progress bar (this is what it looks like RIGHT NOW)ā¦ when it hits zero, it beeps my Mac, and tells me to get up. Then ārechargesā as long as Iām idle.
Keyboard Maestroās ability to draw onto images and update the icon is GAME CHANGING
