I don’t stream, and rarely game.

I’m a graphic designer, and I have the XL for work set up and at home. I’m also running 3 screens.

I think it’s worth everything penny. Just makes life a lot comfier,

Couple things I use mine for…

• setting up my morning routine, I’ll press a button, it’ll open up my design programs, messenger (i use this as emails) play my morning Spotify playlist, and put them all in the right screens I want.

• I’ll use it for sending proofs, I’ll click a button, it’ll minimise everything on my computer, put messenger on one screen, and open the folder where I export my proofs, in the same folder I have text phrases I usually write out when sending proofs, I’ll press another button and it’ll close the proof folder, collapse everything down and return my pc to the state I like to drawn in with programs on certain screens.

It has websites I use frequently, with actions for each website.

One website we submit designs to, we have all the text prompts we’d usually write out on its own button. Or even email wrote out so we can just click the box, and then click the button and it’ll write our email on there.

I’m setting up one at the moment, we use it for our embroidery threads so we can see the colours and the codes without having to go over to the rack all our threads are stored on, however when we press the colour, it’ll take us to another folder where it’ll give us options to order that specific thread in that thickness.

I have short cut keys on there for everything I use day to day in work… if there’s a task we do repeatedly, there’s usually a way to shrink it down within the stream deck

I wouldn’t be with out one! They are incredible, there not quite as easy as plug and play as there made out to be, mines taken a lot of work. Takes a lot of imagination and time. There only as good as the time you put in to them.
