x-keys alternative ElGato Stream Deck

[galyion]

was looking at buying the xkeys 24 key board for my lathe. i found another one called the elgato stream deck. its only 15 keys but each key has a lcd screan and you can nest buttons into folders. it does macros and hot keys. does anyone see a reason it would not work? its designed for game streaming but looks promising.

very cool,

at $141 dollars you might want to wait for the centroid wireless mpg pendant , soon to be released... its target price is $195 and can do alot more than the cool Stream Deck unit.

any timeline for when the centroid wireless mpg pendant will be released? that would be much better for me.

Are these units available?
I need an MPG for my new allin1 system.
Does the $195 target price cover all costs to make it usable, or are there other fees e.g. software?
Do you have a part#?
I could not find it on the website?
Thanks

Is the new software update apply to allin1 or is it just for acorn?
I hear there is supposed to be a virtual control panel for the allin1. My touchscreen should work good with it.
I have MPU11.
