THIS. I have so many plans to loop this thing into my Home Assistant automations. Great Idea!
I could see that, but I could also see macropads being useful for your average gamer who wants to control more common apps like discord, steam, and their browser.
ALSO, if you loop this bad boy into Home Assistant or some other smart home API, you can potentially control your smart home devices and automations from your desk.
So many possibilities!

Recently fell into the obsession of mechanical keyboards and naturally that was a gateway drug into macropads so check this out everyone.
Mechanical keyboards. Picked up a keychron for cheap. Decided it was too loud, decided to change the switches. Then the keycaps. Now I'm ordering barebones keyboards and artisan custom keycaps. This shit is an addiction.
Oh yeah it's a long one. But def worth a watch.
The Linus Tech Tips situation is a disaster

Insightful look into the whole LTT situation. Before watching this I had no idea what the whole debacle was even about.
Are you able to post directly from the app? Every time I try, it says 'coming soon'
New Sync Lemmy Client just dropped. 👌
Growing pains, but I'm glad people are taking to it so well. Getting ready to spin up my own instance.
