> Previously I had a keyboard with a lot of macro keys […] Now I'm using the stream deck for much more than what my keyboard offered.
Would like to hear more details about what you and OP and others use the stream deck for. I’m trying to understand what it can do that a regular keyboard plus macros couldn’t.
It’s really just a dynamic macro pad in a really polished overall product platform. No more guessing what blank button does what.
The killer feature for me is that it can also be an output device with the right tweaks, so for my use case in triggering long running jobs, the icon on the appropriate button updates to indicate the job is in progress and then again when it completes.
