I wonder if the Stream Deck is used in other areas besides streaming. I mean: can it become a must for other professions, e.g. software developers.

- keeganpoppen 6y agothis is the sort of wondering that has led me to have a veritable collection of niche usb peripherals (including a streamdeck haha)

- bketelsen 6y agoi hacked this up one day just for that purpose: https://github.com/bketelsen/godeck https://github.com/bketelsen/godeck I don't use it for streaming on Linux, but for all sorts of other things.
- robbyt 6y agoI use a stream deck for a few common macros I type often while programming. It works great.
- slightwinder 6y agoThe Streamdeck is just a fancy macro-pad/programmable keyboard, and those are around in several areas since decades. Especially video- and music-makers have a pretty sophisticated experience there. But But for software-developers I don't really see the value. We alrady do have our tools for managing macros and shortcuts on regular keyboards. Macropads don't really have much value there. Usually the trend is to reduce key-estate and build elaborated layer-interfaces, not expand them and waste desk-estate. Though, I could maybe see some value if there would be support for animations on the streamdeck, and more scriptability.
- spiffytech 6y agoI've found my Stream Deck pretty useful as a developer for organizing my windows across my three monitors. Quick shortcuts to move windows between displays, position, and resize them in preset areas.
