From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I kinda want to hook one up to raspberry pi for some home control, but I'm not sure if the software to configure it works on Linux (or how it even presents itself HID-device wise)

I'm sure it'll eventually be reverse engineered and have some custom drivers on github soon, but a quick google came up empty for this new device.

Edit: Oh I just realized this hasn't been released yet, I saw the "buy now" button and assumed it was.

It's $269.99 and has 9 programmable buttons. It's designed to control rent-seeking apps like Photoshop.

The Streamdeck XL costs $200 and has 32 programmable buttons. I'm using it to control my dorm room through Home-Assistant, and my robot camera through Bitfocus Companion.
