    I could see that, but I could also see macropads being useful for your average gamer who wants to control more common apps like discord, steam, and their browser.

    ALSO, if you loop this bad boy into Home Assistant or some other smart home API, you can potentially control your smart home devices and automations from your desk.

    So many possibilities!

    Recently fell into the obsession of mechanical keyboards and naturally that was a gateway drug into macropads so check this out everyone.

    Mechanical keyboards. Picked up a keychron for cheap. Decided it was too loud, decided to change the switches. Then the keycaps. Now I'm ordering barebones keyboards and artisan custom keycaps. This shit is an addiction.

    Insightful look into the whole LTT situation. Before watching this I had no idea what the whole debacle was even about.

    Only if you're concerned with gaming on Linux. Nvidia drivers aren't open source so it's a bit of a finagle to have Linux utilize Nvidia GPUs to their fullest. Otherwise it shouldn't be a huge deal. I prefer AMD because the drivers are wrapped up into the kernel so I've never had issues. But intel does have quicksync capabilities which is pretty nice for plex stuff. Otherwise nah
