Charybdis VS companion

I am using https://github.com/Bastardkb/Charybdis/tree/main/files/mods/tenting-stand-with-wrist-pads With the Gelpads from Ali. And are quite happy with them. Interestingly do they change after a while and don’t snap to each others, but that’s not a problem.

yep what he said. check this out https://github.com/Bastardkb/Charybdis/blob/main/files/mods/readme.md

I started my split journey by building a dactyl manuform with amoeba king pcbs. Now I use a charybdis nano because it has an integrated trackball :D

I use a Bastard Keyboard Charybdis Nano. It's an ergo 3x5 keyboard with built in trackball. I built it myself but you can get them pre built too.

Keyboard - Charybdis - https://bastardkb.com/charybdis/ - Original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/x8pq5k/first_build_charybdis_mods_btu_millmax_whirst/ and stands I designed - https://github.com/Bastardkb/Charybdis/tree/main/files/mods/tenting-stand-with-wrist-pads

Most of my free time is spent researching and engineering for various open source projects. I also enjoy building custom keyboards, right now I'm rocking a Bastard Keyboards Charybdis that I hand built myself. Fun facts: I'm left handed and used to train and ride horses competitively.

Stumbled upon this keyboard while searching for Dactyl Manuform pcbs. Thought I'd share it here as well.. Also its open source : https://github.com/Bastardkb/charybdis Bastardkb website : https://bastardkb.com/charybdis/

The design is not mine to share, but it is fully open source -- one of the reasons I really respect bastardkb and wanted to build this board. You can find the files (and license) on the bastardkb github.

Or use Companion to control the Hyper Decks/ Ki Pros….

Still interested in other solutions, particularly a built-in function. I found this feature request on the Companion Github page. I'm not sure though if that is talking about using Companion buttons to trigger hotkeys, or the other way around (as the 2 linked issues seem to be about).

We use Companion on every show—can’t remember how I did one without it. As long as the gear you are using is supported, you can’t go wrong. Very easy to setup and use. Highly recommended.

Can probably do this with Companion. Often used with stream deck but works with a phone too afaik.

Companion is a great way to approach complex macros like these. Basically you'd stack several actions to your one button, like this:

I use a Stream Deck daily to control AV production gear using BitFocus Companion (https://bitfocus.io/companion). I am constantly surprised at the range of supported equipment.

Complex operations that used to take three people can be done by a single person.

For a basic example:

Audio operator fades out background music and brings up video playback audio channels

https://bitfocus.io/companion and a StreamDeck would be a fast/cheap solution. Integrates directly with ETC console so you can use tge existing cues and patching.

Good for macros and help making complex things easier with ATEM https://bitfocus.io/companion
