Ask HN: What lesser-known accessories do you use with your computer?
I have an XP-Pen as well. Works great in Linux. I'm still amazed at how high quality these non-Wacom tablets are today. I had one of those cheap 6" Wacom Graphites back in the early 2000s and that was the best you could get. My XP-Pen blows that thing away. Still haven't found a great place to put it though. I'm just stashing it off to the side but it's awkward moving it around all the time.
If you're on Linux, Gromit-MPX is a great companion app to annotate anything on your desktop. https://github.com/bk138/gromit-mpx

Image viewer with annotations (etc add rectangle)
I use Gromit-MPX. With it you can toggle "painting mode" with a hotkey (e.g. F9), making your screen essentially a big whiteboard on which you can draw in various colors and thiccnessess.

Is there a simple/easy/free way to send keypresses/combos to the host PC?
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).

Cheap commercial grade Show Control w/simple web interface
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.

Ask HN: What lesser-known accessories do you use with your computer?
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

Any user friendly interfaces that pair well with an ETC EOS system?
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.
