Chad's Cheap Crappy Corner!

Chad's Cheap Gadget theme for September as picked by our loyal Patreons is “Gadgets for your tech.” Chad describes that theme as 'companion gadgets to use with tech you already own'. Or even, “gadgets you can use with other gadgets you have”. Chad's fourth cheap gadget to use with gadgets you already own is the Stream Deck.

Stream Deck is not a cheap gadget and we have our most loyal fan Mo Torres, to thank for giving it to Chad. It turns out he no longer had a use for it and asked if it might be good for The Giz Wiz Show. Chad said loudly “YES!” And as he says on the show, “With this gadget hooked to your computer, you can do a whole lot of things!”

Here's a bit of info about it from Stream Deck: Stream Deck puts 15 LCD keys at your fingertips for ultimate studio control. Simply tap to switch scenes, launch media, tweet your feats and more. Personalize your keys with custom icons or choose from hundreds, and get visual feedback every time you execute a command. With Stream Deck, maximize your production value and focus on what matters most: Your audience. Interface Integrated USB 2.0 cable.

I was amazed that each of the 15 Keys are mini-LCD screens. You'll see Chad move icons around, add new ones, and more. Now this device is not for everyone. But if you're a content creator, a Youtuber, a streamer, etc., this would be a giant help. The reviews on Amazon are amazing, mostly all 5 star reviews. While Chad said it's not cheap, at about $150.00, think that's quite a bit of technology for that price. 5 or 10 years ago this could probably cost a couple of grand! Once again, thank you Mo for this generous contribution. It will now be part of the Giz Wiz weekly production. (Yes, some actual production does go into this show!)

Be sure to watch this week's show as Chad explains the various options available on Amazon.
