The 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.
