MATRICIntegrationDemo VS kmonad

But best of all is an app called Matric. Matric runs on touch screen phones, tablets or laptops and allows you to create customized touch buttons to control anything. https://matricapp.com/

I use Simdashboard, SimHub, Matricand Z1 Dashboard all in parallel.

I am not the OP, but I am in a Discord where he has been posting his progress. The software he is using is called Matric, https://matricapp.com The server software allows for user to create custom 'button boxes' or other user interfaces on mobile devices.

If you have an Android tablet lying around, you can use Matric. See at https://matricapp.com/

I like to use MatricApp for my tablet.

A potentially cheaper option: get yourself a small-to-mid-sized Android tablet or Chromebook (7-10" is the sweet spot for this for me, if that helps) and figure out a way to stand it up on your desk, and get an app called Matric on that and your PC. You can run it for free but features are very limited until and unless you spend the (I think) $15 to unlock the paid version. But you can download and install several button cards for various applications, from DCS and Star Citizen to OBS or Photoshop or whatever you want; it's basically a virtual, endlessly customizable button box.

Matric is a generic but very versatile and highly customizable button box app for your phone/tablet, which can work with DCS.

There are several solutions to include secondary screens, like HELIOS, or specifically Android or iOS tablets and phones, like Matric, DCS Device Server, DCS UFC, Hornet UFC and probably a few more.

What I currently have is a program and app called Matric. It is like a virtual button box, with a lot of other options, that allows me to send key strokes from my mobile device into the PC. Here is the link to it so you can better understand what it is; https://matricapp.com/. I also have AHK and vJoy installed. Matric has vJoy integration and I know this works as I set up test buttons that send a vJoy button presses and I saw the corresponding indicator illuminate on the vJoy Monitor.

have you actually tried that? afaik they don't get you the perfect home row mods due to some limitations re. how they implement the tap vs hold logic

I use kmonad[1] to have QMK-like functionality on any keyboard.

You can create F13-F24 purely in software with key mapping tools. On Windows, one way is with the PowerToys Keyboard Manager: remap some unimportant keys to F13, F14, etc. Another way is with KMonad (cross platform), and define the keymap with KeyF13, KeyF14, etc.

There you have the software link : https://github.com/kmonad/kmonad

Other option I would suggest for any linux user with keyboards without QMK is to try KMonad https://github.com/kmonad/kmonad
