This channel is bad for my wallet..
Glad to see your channel grow so much in 2 months! Love watching your content.
You gotta do a video showing your actual desk setup, I see lots of stuff underneath and I’m curious to see what you’re using for wire management.
I found myself looking for a channel like this just a few weeks ago and I’m glad it finally happened. Very interested to see what else you have to share and hopefully hear about your setup!
A couple of weeks ago i was inspired by one of your videos and i made a macro pad from an old tablet with a 3d printed a case designed by me, it works awesome with a pretty cheap cost! Thank you for your videos! Keep on the good work!
How did you do that? Name of software ?
@@thebassmaster1364 macro deck! great one
This is such a timely and useful channel. I love these genuinely useful products as compared to a lot of "top 5 desk accessories you MUST own" affiliate link factory channels.
Thank you for the time and thought you put into your content. It is valuable and I hope for your continued success!
Every upload is so incredible, I'm happy to have found this channel!
Im so excited for your next video. Since the last one Ive been coming every once in a while to your channel to see if you have posted.
Your videos inspired me to rethink my workspace. I ended up getting a raspi screen and setting it up specifically for what I need. Its so useful I have used my second screen only 3 or 4 times in the last two months.
Im on my way to remake my table completely with custom drawers for my piano. Lets see how that turns out
Your videos are the most interesting in my feed right now. Keep up the great work!
This channel is definitely going places! Got my subscription for sure and I already watched all your videos 😂.
Dude...when you post I get giddy. Your production is so perfect!
I was about to buy a macropad very similar to this one on AliExpress, but I just got a really good deal on the 15-key Elgato stream deck, so that’s what I got. I may use it also to turn on and off my smart lamps.
Another super cool video. Thank you very much.
I loved the channel already, but seeing that Spark Master Tape on the Spotify Car Thing, I'm absolutely sold.
Man I love your channel!
I was just about to buy a Spotify Car Thing when it sold out, bummer. I am definitely looking forward to purchasing a macro pad, but my desktop setup is pretty much cableless, are there any wireless macropads that you've found to be good?
Oh and just a nitpick, the repeated use of the exact same clip for B-roll is not necessarily bad, but once you notice you cannot unnotice. Otherwise your presentation and video production skills are superb. Great job.
This channel is my new favorite thing
What lights do you use for the monitor sync?
If you keep making macro pad videos I'm gonna end up with at least one of them lol.
Great video!
Hate the ergonomics of the side mount but it's definitely a cool idea and I love the light effects!
I know Japanese so I can kinda puzzle through Chinese menus but it's not great
I am not joking when I say our setups are so close to being the exact same, but I love yours so much more. I'm so glad I stumbled across your channel for some great ideas. I'd love to know where you got that stand for your PC because mine is just on my desk and its taking up too much space. Also let me know if you'd like to help me make my setup look a bit nicer :)
Could you make a small video on the hanging "storage" arrangement for your MacBook? I've never seen anyone put it UNDERNEATH their desk - that's genius! I've been trying to find a good place for it as I have it connected via a single USB-C to my monitor and don't want it ON my desk...
Great channel - keep up the good work!
This channel is awesome. Can you make a review of your desk? As someone wanting a sit/stand, not sure what is worth it and what is not. Thanks
Okay now this one is built for me... both for lights as well as literally a makeshift streamdeck cause i just want to press a button and have a sound file play for my own amusement. Which i've been doing for 4 years now so..... i should get a dedicated button set for it... since i ain't stoppin'
I use a couple of these at work. My coworkers thought it was dumb until they saw what I have programmed it to do. I havent typed in like three weeks.
For me, the auto-stabilizing of the camera is kind of making me motion sick. Have you tried a gimble? I am definitely assuming, the shifting of everything around the subject reminded me of how I cannot read a book in a car.
Pikatea is an alternative to this macropad. It includes a rotary encoder knob, five keys and a nice mounting option. A bit more expensive, but also better looking IMO.
+1 on the Pikatea. Especially the GB4 that can mount under a desk or monitor.
Out of curiosity, do you happen to know if Pikatea’s macropads work with macOS?
(Since they’re just emulating keyboards, I’d imagine that there’s likely at least some compatibility, but I wasn’t sure about whether the programming part was also compatible with macOS?)
@@handcoding The firmware that Pikatea uses on their Pro Micros are programmed through Vial, which is an open source, cross platform GUI. So it should work great on MacOS!
@@codywlsmith Oh, sweet-I appreciate the info!
nice video! is it alright to use fast charging data cables on keyboards/mouse? will it destroy the internals or something? thanks!
If any kvm switch can use mechanical keys as switch buttons it will be awesome.
peeping that playdate on your desk 👀 now that's got me wondering if that could somehow be used as a desk tool 🤔
Will this do a true macro (like shift -> shift -> 1 as individual presses with a delay between each)?
You should definitely make a video on a premium custom keyboard. The ultimate wfh tool
Can you do a full setup review please?
What amp / keyboard are you using in your setup?
I'm looking for something like this that does not require being connected to a computer. I don't want to run additional software on my Mac just to trigger some activities. Something with Wifi (RasPi, maybe? but I want smaller!) that can be programmed to emit web requests to either my home automation hub or a web API.
Dude I just noticed where your MacBook is. This deserves a video
Hey I had a question about your desktop setup. At 5:05 what's the name of that music controlling-mini monitor you got set up?
ok now we need a video on your smart lights setup
Yoour desk setup is as clean as the cars you had rolling around on your monitor.
Hey man! Any way you can post your code you use for opening programs with Macros? Mine is super buggy and only works like 80% of the time. Love the content!
CN you link me to the volume control deal for your speakers plz?
I tried all browsers, but I cannot access the download. It kept saying the error message problem loading page.
I have bought a 3 button + 1 knob macropad from aliexpress. can you giuide me on how to set it up?
keep doing the good work
Thanks dude!
What light bar do you use?
Please review the duckypad! It’s an amazing macropad with a LED screen!
Before I buy this, I need to know if it can open up games like Steam games
what's the name of the macro pad software which was partly on Chinese ?
Been looking for something small like this. but having the manufacturer suggest turning off your PC protection to download the manual makes it a hard pass.
I purchased this one about a year ago and the code was delivered over discord. It was fully obfuscated/minified and that was the end of my journey haha.
Great video 👍👍 One thing, the link given to Amazon shows MicroUSB in the product shot, not USB-C as you have used... Could you comment more on this?? Might it just be an out of date product shot?? It is the "Ecarke Black OSU Keypad 5 Key Gaming Keyboard" you are using?? Thanks in advance 👍👍👍
where did the mini moniter go?
Have you ever looked into HomeAssistant? This thing, plus HASS.Agent and Home Assistant could alter the buttons function based on time of day, what you're doing on the computer, the state of other devices or...?
I bought one to play with, I'll report back.
4:14 What is the device next to your keyboard?
Where did you buy thé monitor lamp is it also hue?
Yes! Behind the monitor are Hue play bars. And in the lamps are Hue bulbs.
to complicated, elgato mk1 prices is around 90$, it has already philipse hue built in and can be integrated with BBT on mac
Do you use a Canon mirrorless camera for your videos?
Hey thanks for watching, I'm using a Sony ZV-E10, and I shoot at 4K 24fps. Hope that helps.
Bro please stop, I’m gonna be broke before Christmas. Love the videos
Could be a great and cheap stream deck, right? 😁
Hey man, what wrist rest are you using? Thanks
It's the Nuphy Studio slim wrist rest. If you Google Nuphy wrist rest you should find what you are looking for.
@@WorkFromHype oh sorry I mean for your mouse
Do you use light bars or a light strip from Phillips Hue?
Thanks for watching, I have 3 Hue Play Bars behind the monitor, and a handful of Hue bulbs around the office. I originally had this in the video but cut it because I wasn't sure anyone would be interested in the lights themselves! Let me know if you have any other questions on them.
@@WorkFromHype Nice! I thought it looked like the kind of light that the bars emit vs the strips. I am looking into Govee's bars cause I'm ballin' on a budget, but this is affirming my preference for the light bar behind-monitor look!
What is your light strip/bar? :D
Amazing
Thanks for the review, I do wish you would have spent more time on the software so I could get a better idea how it works.
You're absolutely entitled to your opinion and I value your feedback. For my part, Ill say that I did take time to mention that the software experience was not great, and I even showed the translation issues as well. That said, for $25... the software performed as about as well as one could reasonably expect for something so cheap. If I paid 100.00 for something like this it would simply be returned and I'd never make a video covering it.
I also want to make it clear that I made this video to share my experience of improving desk setup with a unique and affordable product, and nowhere did I describe this video as a formal review.
I will consider removing the affiliate link for the product though, I'm not really focused on earning income that way, it's just a way for me to pay for video editing software.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback.
@@WorkFromHype thanks for the detailed reply. I understand where you are coming from. The price is a factor in expectations for sure. I just would have like to seen a little more and hear more of the downside of the product. I have an interest in these accessories too.
Just taunting us now with that Playdate... 😭
I have one just like it with 12 keys
🔥
"precious space"
80% of EMPTINESS
hahahaha
Shhh lol
I can agree, Miatas are nice
A normal keyboard has at least TWELVE keys called "function" where you could attribute whatever FUNCTION you want, but people want to spend money in an external RGB device. Lol
Imma just use it to play taiko on osu
Based
Ye
Will you ever do a video on ...the DESK ITSELF?
SOON I promise! If you're interested in the model it's the basic Vivo standing desk on Amazon. I believe there's a link in the description. It's affordable but has lasted me several years.
@@WorkFromHype thank you mr. hype, I will take a peek, never tried a standing desk before
when’s the next video mate
More software in background
That’s obviously 9 inches long
❤
These videos always make me want to buy these things, but I seriously have no idea what I would need a small macro pad for.
(Commenting mainly so the algorithm will show your videos to more people)
Listen buddy, I'm gonna need you to list your PC build. You have roughly a million peripherals, and a stupidly clean workstation. How do you connect everything without having a mess of cords? What platform do all these things run on ?
are you not scared using that chinese software?
To be honest I find it kinda useless, this video shows the same functionality as the last macro pad video you made. Since the only change is the form factor.. to do the function you preset in this video you have to use Philips hue
first
God get out and see the world and make it better rather than jacking around with your room/desk on the littlest things. jhc!
❤
