I built a DIY automation keypad for under $20, and it replaced three devices on my desk
Looking at your desk right now, you probably have a stream deck for shortcuts, a dedicated number pad that you rarely use, and a bulky volume knob. The issue with commercial control centers is that they are expensive, often coming in at over $150 and locking you into proprietary, resource-heavy software. You can easily fall victim to picking up multiple devices that you simply just don't need. However, by spending less than $20 on a few choice parts from AliExpress or Amazon, you can build a 6-key dual encoder keypad that does the job of all the devices I've named above with zero background CPU usage.
