Build This Yourself for Just $20! FreeTouchDeck.

This is my take on an open source alternative for a Stream Deck. Stream Deck starts at around $120. FreeTouchDeck on the other hand can be built for less then $20! It can be used to create pages of hotkeys to control software like OBS, or your favorite design software, or just shortcuts to speed up common tasks.

Although still in the early stages of development you are welcome (and very much encouraged!) to give it a try and/or join the development!

Update: The ESP32 TouchDown, a board design for FreeTouchDeck but with capacitive touch, battery management and more is available on Tindie: https://www.tindie.com/products/dusti...
