I've been rolling the idea around of getting one of these (32 buttons?) for similar reasons. You are not making it easy to put that decision off.

It's so nice to have all the buttons on one screen instead of several subfolders that I had to do with the 15 button version. I also have a lot more versatility in triggering sound fx and such.

Oooh, shiny! Yeah, I bet that's super useful. I still haven't GMed much online, but for lots of other uses the (15-key) stream deck has been super useful. Appreciate the recommendation, y'all were right.

So this is essentially another small keyboard that you can map things from FG on to instead of having to click on them in game? Sort of like another whole set of function keys?

Exactly. I find it very useful for all sorts of things, even with a Logitech G13 mini-keyboard for gaming. The Streamdeck launches my game launchers (Battlenet, Steam, etc.), Discord, un/mutes audio, even connects to my Hue hub so I can turn the lights up/down/off. Handy.
JHale1966, that pic with all the FG symbols is heartwarming : )How to Be a GURPS GM, author

I have a whole folder of keys assigned to those random 20 digit passwords, could not live without it. Also I hardly use the start button anymore. It drives me crazy watching people hunt thru the start menu for an app. lol

@jayhale1966, I just saw where they had came out with that. It's on my summertime upgrade list.

I just used Snagit for the capture and photoshop to make them 72x72. Gonna redo them at 144x144 for the new Stream Deck when I get some time. Maybe even some animated ones. 😁 Originally Posted by TheMookNet
