Nice.
Microsoft has now rolled Skype into Teams and terminated their international calling subscription option.
This was my one affordable way to stay in contact with my mother in Canada, I'm in The Netherlands.
Now I am on the hunt for a comparably priced option, I need unlimited calling to Canada for under 5 Euro a month, it was 4.95 on skype.
I recently started playing Helldivers 2 and realized as a left handed gamer the keys, especially for doing stratagems, were quite inconvenient.
So I decided to take something off my wish list and bought myself a Stream Deck.
I initially bought the 15 button model but quickly discovered that there just were not enough buttons and ended up buying a second hand 32 button XL model.
This was a game changer, not just for Helldivers but for quite a few games.
There is also a bonus in that the person that sold… See More
me the Stream Deck XL also had a brand new Stream Deck Pedal that he let me have for less than half of retail.
Now this is something else, three large buttons sitting on the floor that you can push with your feet.
In Division 2 I use it for Take Cover, Grenade and Use armor kit.
Using these commands without having to move my hands on the keyboard is fantastic.
I even 3D Printed a mount so I could put the Stream Deck on the back of my keyboard.
The picture, if you pardon my messy desk, is my setup for Elite: Dangerous
So if you have any sneaking desire to get a Stream Deck I say go for it they are hugely useful.
Also an option, is a split staggered ortholinear keyboard.
Though they can often be very expensive, with some such as the Moonlander and Dygma Defy very much so, going into several hundreds of dollars.
Being basically mirrored, you can set the other half to be a literally mirror of the keybinds in terms of positions.
You can still type on it as normal, you just change the keybinds in games etc to whatever is mirrored on the other half.
I do not have one however, and am right-handed so can't comment on… See More
personal experience, just being an idea I think could help some people.

Yes I was disappointed about this as well. I hope you find a good solution.
