Inexpensive Dedicated Button Controller

I discovered there are various 2/3/4+-key keyboards are available on Amazon. They seem to be geared toward gamers and programmers. Search "Ecarke keyboard". There are also lots of custom keycaps available that can be used to tailor the buttons toward their specific function. I'm embarrassed to admit I spent more time sifting through fancy keycap options than I did finding the keyboard to begin with.

The little keyboard can be programmed via a web portal, no software necessary, and gets stored onto the device. I configured the 2 keys to press obscure key combinations that I could then map to Soundflow functions.

I'm using this as a dedicated PEC/Direct control for punching in/out on a pro tools dub system.

That's all! A simple and inexpensive alternative to a full-on streamdeck or x-keys if you just need a few dedicated buttons.
