Looking for a way to streamline your workflow as a trial technician? The KeyBow 2040 from PiMoroni might just be the solution you're looking for. With the ability to quickly switch between tools within Trial Director or any other program that uses keyboard shortcuts, this device is a cost-effective alternative to pricier stream decks. While some coding and assembly are required, the end result is a time-saving hack that can help you work more efficiently, particularly when seconds count and attorneys need to switch between exhibits quickly. Don't let the technical nature of this hack discourage you; with a little effort, it can be a game-changer for your workflow.
Description from the Manufacturer
Keybow evolves into its final form with a 4x4 grid of keys, and low latency input, high reliability and a super slim footprint courtesy of the brand new RP2040 chip from Raspberry Pi. The RP2040 microcontroller chip is incorporated neatly into the Keybow 2040 PCB, so it's a tidy all-in-one unit. We've added our favorite Kailh Speed switches (now available in clicky, linear or tactile varieties) and smart transparent DSA keycaps that look incredible when lit up with the fully customizable per-key RGB lighting.
You could use Keybow 2040 as a streaming deck for adjusting in-stream audio settings and switching easily between OBS scenes, as a capable midi controller for triggering clips, tracks, or effects in Ableton Live or as a customizable hotkey pad for programs like Photoshop. It's also handy for pasting frequently-used text or code snippets.
