Would this work to use as different scene binds on OBS? I want use it for streaming, but I'll be damned if I'm going to spend $200 on a stream deck

You can make it "coffee-proof" by applying a clear coat of acrylic medium or varnish over the labels!
thanks for the video!!!

Avery has 1/2 inch round or square labels for printers. The DURABLE, EDGE-TO-EDGE ones are available in waterproof and were perfect for my keyboard. I was able to print out very nice stickers that fit great WITH NO CUTTING! Good Luck.

I use peal and stick document protector for my labels. I print them in color on label material and seal them with the document protector. The cut them out and stick them.

2:30 You could get a mechanical board and use relegendable keycaps. It will add expense to the project, but it will make your keys "coffee-spill-proof" 😆 Thanks for the video.

You’re the best thank you I watched like 5 videos before this. You’re amazing

If you contact a local signmaker or car wrapper they will have a high quality cast laminate and you can use that to laminate the printed keys..

[qrowok]

thank you i am planing to use this for programing

[falconrod]

I'm not sure if it would be possible but take the keys off and paint over them with some sort of clear coat that will seal in the paper.

Question, after remapping a keyboard, will the functions saved to the keyboard when i use it to a different computer? Or it will only work on computer were the program is installed?

[marekgobreks]

Nice one! I would definitely put shortcuts to facebook, twitter and other social media. Also gmail. Maybe if you cover buttons with nail polish they will last longer.

I am using the updated version, Lua Macros, but I can't make it run in the background and none of the keys work while i am in photoshop

[laptopersatzteile]

How did you use the "numlock" key. with HIDMacros I can predefine a keyboard sequence for the "numlock-key" But the numlock-key also disables all other keys on the numpad.
Can I disable the original numlock-key function somehow?

[KhaledKotaish-yf]

can it be used to key in program shortcuts like in premiere

[robertodykirk]

I'm still trying to figure out how to script key combos... need Alt Tab but I cannot figure it out LOL

[phenry]

Are you still using this, or have you found updated hardware\software?
