Matt VanOrmer, on the Elgato Stream Deck Pedal →

Elgato recently announced the Stream Deck Pedal, offering yet another way to trigger automation workflows for those of us addicted to using the mouse as little as possible. My buddy Matt has a nice review up on his blog:

The first thing I noticed when the package arrived was how much larger the box was than I was expecting — the Pedal has a 10″x7″ footprint and weighs a surprisingly-chunky two pounds, owing in no small part to the rigid steel sheet forming its bottom plate. The rest of the Pedal is made of hardy matte plastic with a pleasant texture on the top surface, so your (hopefully-socked) feet have something grippy to register on. One subtle yet essential design element in an otherwise-uncomplicated three-button pedal is the slight elevation of the left and right pedals over the middle button sandwiched between them — about a quarter-inch of tactile feedback that makes tapping the wrong button pretty difficult to do.
