#2I am using the duckyPad, text file configuration on an SD card, no need for complex software. Works on any OS that supports USB HID devices.

#3Fantastic little piece of hardware. I got in somewhat late, especially as a content creator, but man has this tiny keyboard made managing my setup so, so much simpler
Re: A year with the Elgato Stream Deck
#4I use mine daily for a few things, and I'm not a content creator. The Zoom buttons are great because it's one tap access to mute/unmute or video on/off regardless of what window I have on top at the time. I set my other buttons to common websites that I use, so I don't have to go hunting for the Okta tile or bookmark.
Could I do these things with other tech? Sure, but this was pretty affordable, is really attractive and customizable, and has software that works really well out of the box. Hard to beat for someone lazy like me. :D

#6I would love it if Apple figured out how to do this with their keyboards. Might be up against some laws of physics, but would be nice.

There was this in 2007, so it's definitely possible to do a full keyboard

Elgato Stream Deck XL comes with 32 buttons.
Are you saying you want even more than that?

I think the biggest difference here is the lack of LCD buttons on the duckyPad.
People are able to identify icons quicker and better than they are the right key to press to get a certain action, in the case of the duckyPad.
Plus, the Stream Deck allows you to create folders, so you can technically get very complicated workflows on the S/D versus the duckyPad.
Just a thought.

#10I got one as a gift and was a bit skeptical of it too as a programmer that does most of the work in code with vim commands but have come around on it.
useful to have as a clock/date for a few locations at a glance. opens up some apps too but the main thing I use it for is having a few reference docs that you can open up with a button. window layout buttons are nice too. the other thing I use it for is setting brighness on the screen and locking the screen. Not sure I'd buy one but they are neat to have if you get one as a gift.
