Default Stream Deck Users?

Does anyone else use a Stream Deck to enhance immersion and efficiency in-game?

In case you're not aware, Stream Deck is a customizable button box that can be used for basically any game or software. It was developed for streamers, but I use it exclusively as a button box for games which rely on keyboard commands. It is infinitely expandable based on it's design. https://www.elgato.com/en/gaming/stream-deck

I've made profiles for SH3, SH4, & SH5. Being new to SH5 I haven't fully explored ways I can use it, but I still use it for many things. At this point I would be lost without it for SH3 & SH4.

For example, the screenshot below is from the software used to program it. The images you see are actually what shows on the stream deck on my desk as physical buttons. I ripped the icons from screenshots in game and programmed them each to a keyboard command. There is something about pressing a physical button to open tubes & fire eels that I love.

These can be found on amazon and some local computer retailers. I have the XL version, but they have different sizes. While I don't stream, I use this box a lot, especially as an ATC on the VATSIM network. I've actually used it casually for basic CTRL commands, like copy/paste, etc just in general use in browsers and word processors.

If anyone is interested I can upload my profiles to help you get started. Then you can improve and customize my layout!

If you have the funds laying around I HIGHLY suggest picking one of these up. They're constantly expanding it's native capabilities, including controlling smart home devices.

Hi...

I am very interested in your profiles for the sh series.
The icons are very nice.
I have the smaller elgato and want to start again with all the silent hunter series, with all the nice mods and the new technical gadgets like the stream Deck after years.

Regards Stefan

These are exactly what I'm looking for.

Since I also have a Stream Deck XL, and am a new SH3 and SH4 player I would sure like to use your profiles.
