So- I bought a Streamdeck before everything went to garbage in the real world and it has absolutely ruled.

For those that don't know- A streamdeck is an Elgato product that is a series of 48 ( i think?) little LCD screens that are buttons. You can map them to anything, and have folders that go in and get more specific. You can also change the images on the buttons to be anything.

It absolutely rules, and I've recently gotten my HOTAS controller up and running with X-Wing and I was thinking- what if I could have little switches and toggles to my right for the game? What little images should be in there? I think having buttons to increase and decrease the energy levels would be smart, maybe squad orders too. Anyone have any ideas?

I've never heard of it before now. Looks cool.
I suppose you would come up with the ideas first and then google for image ideas.

All I can say is maybe use this as some inspiration?

ooOOO These images are going to be great,

I think I could use some of the laser cannon symbols for like, Linked Fire or switching Primary to secondary weapons? Cluster missile can easily be counter measures. hMMMM

much to think about much to think about

Eight columns * four rows = 32 total buttons 😁

I think it would be great for communications.
