  • Keyboard Maestro 11
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 25 Oct 2023
    Unfortunately, the StreamDeck doesn't emulate a standard USB HID device, so it needs a driver running in the background to detect button presses and do things like generate keystrokes or call Keyboard Maestro macros.

    There's streamdeck-ui (https://timothycrosley.github.io/streamdeck-ui/), which is an open-source alternative, but it at first glance it seems to be only for Linux).

    There are a bunch of other macro/launcher pads like the StreamDeck that DO act as standard USB HID keyboards, though, and those should work fine with Keyboard Maestro using keyboard shortcut triggers.

    Found that one which seems to work with older models. https://github.com/timothycrosley/streamdeck-ui or https://flathub.org/apps/com.feaneron.Boatswain

    what OS do you have on ur pi? from what i know stream deck is only compatible with Windows and MacOS, you’d have to do a special setup to use it with Linux

    Not sure if that keyboard has open source editing software, but Elgato Stream Deck certainly does.

    tbh I didn’t have a problem with the official Windows app so I can’t say anything about that much

    But under Linux I used this

    Works pretty well by my experience under Debian. There are some edge cases like Wayland (see the issues) though.

    The only tip I'd have would be for Wayland users who suffer from not having global shortcuts work with OBS: obs-cli with obs-websocket have you covered. Set a keyboard shortcut or Stream Deck button (using streamdeck-ui) to execute an obs-cli command and you're done.
  • Elgato Keylights

    Anyone have any experience with the ElGato Keylights on Linux? I use Ubuntu 22.04. I have stream deck that I use with Streamdeck-ui and I wanted to know if anyone uses these lights with a cli program that would allow me to control them? On, Off, brightness, etc?

    Thanks for the info, I wasn't aware of the Stream Deck. It is also supported on Linux by Open Source library and app. Very tempting.
