Admit it, you had to clean your desk for this video.

[@firstjayjay]

Hehe 4 sure. No gamers desk looks that neat 🤔

[@SaltEMike]

10000000% I had to.

[@deathlytree434]

I was thinking the same thing lol

[@renuoz]

Haha hilarious

Morph lovingly watching Mike fly is killing me.

[@Darthgenius]

Lol

[@Naqaj]

Motivational Morph!

[@antoniovinciguerra8982]

Streamdeck user here. I gotta say, I never heard of the Loupedeck and it seems to be a valid competitor. From the video it feels more responsive and definitely has features such as dials and differentiation between hold and press that the streamdeck lacks. Thanks for this, Mike! Definitely worth considering.

[@jwcvannoort]

What brand mount did you use for the Loupedeck and Joysticks?

[@RaysGuide]

Cool, I have been using a Streamdeck XL for much of the same reason. I may want to do a similar video for it. There are some tricks to setting it up

[@gametemplar5213]

Great video! I have a Loupedeck Live. Looking forward to using your keybind setup that you uploaded.

[@SaltEMike]

Nice man, and questions just ask.

[@CaptainPoldork69]

Hey this is very helpful Thank you! I installed your profile from the market place and it is very well setup! What did you link the profile to make it stay up and running? I linked it to RSI Launcher, and the Starcitizen.exe and the buttons will not stay up for me unless I alt tab back to the other screen? I see yours just says "starcitizen default" any help? thanks!!@@SaltEMike

[@MUFF-yt5if]

@@SaltEMike could use a little advice buddy I got the loupedeck live and I'm trying to install the star citizen file but I'm getting a constant error and unable to install

[@DarkTempist-hn8dg]

Recently picked one of these up for its functional features and will definitely expand its use ability to help with this games complexity. This is a great use idea for this device!

[@goself84]

That wallpaper! HAHA

[@mattgreen4745]

@SaltEMike, could we get an update on the Loupedeck profile when you get a chance? The "ship combat" button takes you to mining mode lol

[@deathlytree434]

I dont think ive seen your setup until now and that looks like an AMAZING addition

[@JagHiroshi]

I like haptic feedback. Impressive product.

[@5hambles300]

Shower and a clean desk 😮

[@CouchCit]

Good job with the video. This looks like a solid addition for a flight-stick setup. Seems to be like a streamdeck+; I love the inclusion of the knobs.

[@valentinandre2054]

Fantastic. Now we absolutely need a Loupdeck Live ( non 'S' ) version of this profile, please 🙏

[@valeriyak.263]

You can import this profile for the Live as well... Just need to do some remapping of the actions.

[@ZipinS1]

I made a button control panel bolted to my desk with the help of an Arduino Microcontroller. I Agree with Mike, Keyboard isnt as immersive. And im planning to make another one. But a ready made device is probably a very good option

[@stevewest5397]

I use a Logitech G13 instead of keyboard, along with an Extreme 3D Pro joystick and GameGlass on an iPad Mini 2. All three of those are completely customizable so that I don't have to remember new keybinds. I just adjust them when the game changes, and the "request landing" button or the "open all external doors" button remain the same. I have three different layouts on my G13, depending on what I'm doing (on foot / flying / mining/salvage), and I keep common buttons (like MobiGlass, or my AI assistant) at the same spots on each. Took a bit to setup (as I imagine this product does), but it works great.

[@deathlytree434]

It would be dope if you could share your profiles to people so you can essentially give someone controls youd advise

[@SaltEMike]

the controls I have only make sense for the loupedeck and they are downloadable from their software!

[@deathlytree434]

@@SaltEMike dopeeee thanks!

[@danielschmidt1990]

Finally someone gives credit to the non numpad people! 🤣

[@cptbizzo]

Hope to see the changes you recommended be implemented. 2 minutes in and I was already hoping to see that dial be used for mining. Are there community forums?

[@SaltEMike]

They have a reddit

[@williamtoporek6647]

I'm a professional video editor and I've been using my Loupedeck CT for years now and I love it for my work. Saw your video using the LD LIve and now I'll be programming my LD CT for Star Citizen. I love the functionality of this product and have been singing its praises for years to others in the video/film industry now hopefully I can do the same for my SC crew. Full disclosure. This is a very expensive product and I only recommend it (the CT) for professionals but the Live might be a better price point for gamers/streamers.

[@DH-ep8fz]

where do you get the mounting bracket for the HOTAS and Loupedeck?

[@hephaestion12]

D: does morph know he os the background to your life?

[@SaltEMike]

Yes he does lol

[@edrickreyes-melendez4215]

Picking one up for sim racing and SC

[@j.d.4697]

And it's worth the 50% higher price compared to the stream deck how? Just for the dials? It doesn't have enough buttons to replace my x56 throttle console unless I want to go in and out of several menues all the time.

[@goself84]

Both this product and the new Streamdeck have unlimited bottons because you can scroll to more buttons.

[@DennDaniel]

What mount did you use for your Deck. It seems like a must.

[@arrayjay]

We really need some control APIs for Star Citizen.

[@ScubaSteveTXST]

Competition in the market place is a good thing, I do like the buttons combined with the number of keys. I have to use a streamdeck and streamdeck+ together to obtain similar functionality.

[@widgget]

You can get a small pads with various number of keys that connect VIA USB. i've got a 12 key pad mounted just in front of my throttle like your Loupdeck is. much cheaper option.

[@TheOneHandedClap]

looks neat. But I don´t see any improvement over using a tablet plus gameglass. Exept the haptic feedback maybe.

[@fred2561]

I think this product could save a lot of space on my desk and replace my virpil control panel. The desk mount is also good. Can I find it with the on the store or it's a custom one? Thanks for the tips.

[@Mace1000S]

Thanks for the video.

[@schtoobs]

Yeah that's a nice bit of kit. Bit expensive (it's niche) but not absurdly priced so the right people can get good value from it.

[@wrextheblind3787]

This would be a perfect addition to my set up, not only for when I stream, but when I play star citizen as well

[@SaltEMike]

The app switching works when you switch windows btw.

[@Spidder81]

I actually like the look of this and will seriously consider it once I have upgraded other stuff like my desk, flight sticks and PC. Hope its more responsive than game glass 😂

[@gr00fin17]

Hey how did you get it to work in a game I cannot get mine to work in the actual application

[@CitizenRyan]

Nice, looks great!

[@Hav0k]

Bro you aren't kidding. There are way too many keybinds. It's nuts.

[@SaltEMike]

Yea and it’s the only going to get worse

[@BigDismal]

Good vid Mike, but between Virpil sticks, button panel, throttle and Stream deck I don't need any other buttons to hit :)

[@clo8076]

Perfect, thank you!

[@PeasNRiceProductions]

the loupedeck looks cool but I still like Game Glass

[@a.g.9964]

Is the Change visible? Mean do i see at L oodeck.if the door is opened wasnt able to see if the icon color color change

[@TheHoedeni]

Hi Mike, I have a loupedeck live now for a few months for SC and MSFS. It's working fine in MSFS but in SC I got it working a few days on PTU but since nothing is going trough, even a simple T or U I see the overlay of loupedeck but nothing in SC... any clue? I will look for you profile and keybinds and hope that there is a small tweak I missed...

[@SaltEMike]

Honestly no, I have no issue of the sort, tried updating the software?

[@TheHoedeni]

@@SaltEMike first of all, I need to thank you! As I could not find anyone else on Star citizen using Loupedeck, I could not know if it came from me or from SC… Thanks to you that was solved and I have been able to solve the issue. I’m running SC as administrator for better performance with some other tweaks but Loupedeck software was not. Once I did run the Loupedeck software as administrator too, it worked! 1 year to find that out…! But I never thought this could be an issue Have a nice day and many many thanks for your SC content even if sometimes I find you have 1 grain of salt to much 😜 You rock man!

[@mortenhumble6063]

What are u using to mount it to your desk?

[@TheHoedeni]

@@mortenhumble6063 in fact, I don’t because I play at home, yes but also at work (I know it’s weird…) so I need to take it every day with me. Otherwise I was planning to download or create some 3D models and print it out but nothing has been decided yet

[@M3SA-gaming]

I been on the fence with this or the Stream Deck. You may have swung me. :)

[@jimm5735]

Wow.. I hadnt considered the advantages of the Loupedeck over the streamdeck (which I have); I think I owe to myself to live a little and try one out... (cheaper than a visit to the pledge store :) )

[@SaltEMike]

Big difference is the loupedeck knowing what window you are in.

[@Wastefuldragon]

I use my stream deck xl for most of my bindings

[@SpaceDad42]

A keyboard is better and everyone already has one. HOSAS is a much better investment. There are also much better button boxes if 60 something buttons on HOSAS and another hundredish on a keyboard isn’t enough.

[@vgwizardx]

You must have a very good memory because I have to disagree if you don't want to spend a lot the Razer Stream Controller is a good alt for a lot less money. But having visual representation is way better then remember what 60 different keys do.

[@AtlasGaming4k]

@saltymike what is the stand? Link to it - assuming not part of the deck?

[@SaltEMike]

I have no clue some random one…but if you look close it didn’t fit the deck so I don’t recommend it.

[@thespectator2976]

Is it hard to setup? Im kinda noob with setting up stuff like that. Is there any ready profile to get? (that would be awesome)

[@SaltEMike]

Plug and play.

[@CitizenGrimm]

Are those Predator mounts for the Loupedeck?

[@SaltEMike]

MonsterTech for the sticks but some scuffed no name for the deck for now.

[@michaelsiciliano-yr4vq]

You have morph as wallpaper 😆 🤣

[@withershadow3904]

My solution was two joysticks, a throttle and pedals.

[@SANTATRUCKS5507]

you can do all this with game glass and your phone or tablet for free

[@AtlasGaming4k]

I use a streamdeck xl and it’s a better choice for SC.

[@DennDaniel]

HAHA are you and Morph best buddies now! Nice can you send me one :)!

[@DennDaniel]

Ok you sold me, Im getting one! I love/hate you at the same time :)

[@Spike.SpiegeI]

How are you mounting it on your desk?

[@SaltEMike]

Just a no name phone mount.

[@rahfeeki8540]

are the dials analog or digital inputs? Debated getting one of these a while back but as far as im aware theyre analog and wont give me the smooth control of my mining laser that im looking for I currently use a standalone custom dial but would love if these ended up swapping to/having the option for digital inputs on the dials so i could condense my streamdeck and dial into just a single device

[@rahfeeki8540]

Ah nevermind, you mention it later in the video, such a bummer theyre not smooth potentiometers, its such a nice Quality of Life improvement for mining to have a nice clean and smooth transition of power

[@SaltEMike]

It actually is nice and clean if the alt button worked.

[@chridou]

@@rahfeeki8540 I was hoping the same. And that the dials could be mapped to DX-Axis. I'm also using a potentiometer and it has the feeling of on "80s amplifier" (some kind of resistence). I think it is smoother than using the mouse wheel step like control for mining.

[@el3ctr1csix22]

Better get to know how to program the Gladiators than adding another device

[@Clust3rFunk1]

damn it. Why did I have to watch this

[@mustrumridcully3853]

Had a Streamdeck for over 2 years now, looks like another copy - and it's more money.

[@Chase_The_Calm_Gaming]

Nooooo Mike. Game Touch Controller is the key. And only the app cost a minimal amount.

[@CronyxRavage]

If you don't have a numpad, you bought the wrong keyboard. Full stop. If you buy an incomplete keyboard, you can't Surprised Pikachu when a piece of software has bindings it expects to be there.

[@tripphazzard6679]

as a "whats wrong with a mouse and keyboard?" player, i will pass

[@SaltEMike]

Nothing you just have so many keys in this game.

[@DeepTitanic]

It's funny watching Mike complain about SC marketing and then do stuff like this

[@TruthIsKey369]

He also makes a living from what CIG is creating, but that's a youtuber for you.
