Anyone using one of these for their simming? Have one coming next week and looking for a profile as a starting point or tips?
Well, this was 2 years ago… guess not huh?
Saw this on a you tube advertisement thought to see if it would work for DCS.
I use a Stream Deck regularly for streaming, and I love it, so I imagine it would work well for a complex sim like DCS.
I don’t know if it works just as a button box or not, but a while back I did see someone using a plugin that used LUA scripts to enable the stream deck lights etc:
I wonder if you could make it function like a numpad as one of the (probably) many modes you could select for those buttons..?
I think it looks like a cool idea, if you can swap modes for the numpad that is. You could have all sorts of icons and functions there, in addition to using it as a numpad.
Fully agree, except that with that 4*3 grid, it is 5 keys down of being a full numpad.
Cool setup especially for streaming (their main public). I can see a streamer using only one reasonably good mechanical keyboard to play on and having a good small panel with a couple of dials for audio and some OBS controls on the numpad area. For us, that really like a lot of buttons and switches placed everywhere, I don’t see the point.
Now their modular system where you can custom build boxes seem pretty cool. That is a problem I think some of us do have. Streamlining functionality between our different peripherals could be beneficial (less usb cables and better use of desk space). I’d love if my 6 LED colored buttons on my Virpil throttle could be replaced by a stream deck. I think it would be awesome to have something like this. Maybe they can fabricate a solution where we can incorporate some custom built stream decks into our controllers and button boxes.
When Elgato creates a keyboard I expect 104 buttons with an oled display. So I can switch to whatever layout I want.
The other products already exist, so why tack a 4x3 grid to a keyboard? Makes little sense to me.
For editing and content creation it would be amazing (provided the keys are good)
Sure, but you get two rotaries and I guess they have a push function. Plus i don’t think I have ever used the full numpad for sims, so I still think this keyboard would be a better option for simming. I definitely don’t see this keyboard as inferior to a full one. Too bad I am madly in love with my C=64 keyboard with matching numpad.

Oooh, that looks old school in a very good way. Also no keys got butchered, just cool stuff added. 
Reflexive clicks sounding in the depths (albeit shallow) of my psyche.
Oooooooh..!
DAAAAAMN! What a beast.
