I don’t know where this application has been all my life. Once I started playing with it I found all kinds of uses: volume up/down, mute, play/pause, launch different browsers, mute Zoom’s mic, etc. USB connectivity would be nice but I’ve had no problems with WiFi.
I would give it 5 stars but it needs a new things:
* Most importantly, a working Quit command. As of v2.1.4 you have to kill the app with a terminal command (hint: “killall Deckboard”) because Quit (or CMD-Q) won’t fully exit. This blocks reboot or shutdown. You can also close it with “Force Quit” in the Apple menu. I created a Deckboard button for that purpose. (Grim, I know.)
* Swipe between boards.
* App-awareness so it can fire a different macro depending on which application has focus. E.g.: Zoom, Teams, Skype, etc have different shortcuts for “mute” so I’d like one button to handle all of them. For now I have Deckboard call Hammerspoon which does the app awareness but that’s clumsy.
All of that said it’s well worth the time and effort to download and set up. I’ll be happy to buy the Pro version once the Quit issue is solved.
