I'm new to star citizen and had a stream deck laying around from a previous project. Didn't even think about doing this. a couple hours of tweaking later and I can thank you for this amazing tip!
Been thinking about using a Streamdeck for all the functions in Star Citizen. Especially now when they're changing all the keybinds around. ;) Joking aside it would suit the game a lot. As a small example, just having a sub page on it with all emotes would be sweet.
I was recently setting up a bunch of stream deck hotkeys for elite dangerous. But I found some button icon packs for Star citizen that are very nice and excellent that I used in their place for Ed. I'm not at home but have a camera pic if you want. I'm sure you can google it though.
The Loupedeck Live is also another great alternative for this purpose. The benefit is having 6 programmable rotary encoders that serves three functions each. I have mine programmed for autopilot functions like HDG, ALT and SPD adjustments. Seems to work great so far.
Damn you Noobifier!! Now there's ANOTHER gaming gadget I want to buy.... as if my shopping list isnt large enough. Curse you and your savvy tech reviews and instructions!!
I have a 15 key streamdeck I bought a couple years ago when they were on sale on Black Friday, and I love the thing. I'm thinking of buying another one this year to complement the first one. Space sims these days have way too many keybinds...
I didn't know stream deck was useful for this until I saw people using it for Star Citizen. Using it for flight sims is also a great idea, and it looks great.
I just bought the 15 button stream deck and started programming the other night and then I watched your video. Awesome set up I would love to get your 15 button profile!
Touch Portal - an app for Android/IOS devices. You can set up all the key bindings you want for MSFS2020 and is very customizable, plus you can use this for programs such as Photoshop, OBS and others. ALSO - far, far, far cheaper than Stream Deck or Elgato at around AU$20 - compared to, for eg, the Elgato at AU$200+ (It can be free, but a bit limited in what you can do, but well worth paying the small amount of bucks). Have used it for about a week and it's brilliant for the flight sim, which atm is the only thing I use it for.
Do not forget that they have the app available and also if you run a Corsair Keyboard you have access to a small 6 buttons deck if you have the G options on your keyboard using the ICUE streamdeck!
Those Stream decks are like Swiss Army knives. Also, for a hot second, your rug in the video thumbnail made it look like a crazy LEGO-based sim pit. LOL Thanks for sharing, I will continue to live vicariously through your rig.
Most share points like that a re susceptible to viruses and such.. google drive would also offer issues.. there have been no more than 4 people ask for the profile.. this seems to be the right way for now.. I will investigate a new P 2 P in the future
I use an old tablet with the deckboard app. I'm limited by the size of my tablet but it still fits up to 35 buttons. It's a little RCA Voyager with a 7" screen. I think deckboard is capable of about 98% of the same functionality if you wanted to put the time in to customizing it. Most of the benefit is that It's a significantly cheaper option for those who might be interested. You could get 4 - 5 of these particular tablets for about the same price as a single 32 button Elgato.
Am I the only one that looked at the thumbnail and thought it was made of legos? With that angle and the carpet pattern, it looked like a lego cockpit. :)
Wow, great setup. After watching your piece on Gameglass I signed up and have GG running on my Note 9 and Surface Pro 3. Now to order Stream Deck. Thanks. I may request those button icons in future if that's ok. Considering what I may need from MonsterTech now...
I actually set my 15 button stream deck up for elite dangerous this last weekend. But there is a full API out for elite. Having a full api was a lot easier. I'm not entirely sure how to do all that you did here noobifier. I might email u when I'm back at home.
The Rocinante mongoose is no longer sold. WarBrd is available. I normally don’t pay for my hardware.. so, it’s not that I have a bunch of money or I am rich. I am just a soldier, this is a hobby for me to waste some time.
Thanks for the info and in particular the video shots of the Monstertech MFD mount you're using for the 15-button Stream Deck. I just got my Stream Deck and have in inquiry about the distance across that hinge piece, to find out how far off the aluminum bar the MFD mount attaches - my Warthog throttle overhangs the bar about 1.5" so that hinge needs to stand off the MFD mount by at least that far. Looking at your video closely and comparing to the size of the buttons on the Stream Deck, it looks like it would be about 2" - 2.25" so it should work to clear my throttle base. Ya just never know what's going to help somebody when you make a video, do you? Have watched quite a few of your other ones; this is the first one where I took notes..... :-)
Recently got into all the Sim stuff coming over from a Maker background so have been building my own aluminium extrusion based setup and was just waiting on a streamdeck to show up from amazon myself! My issue is where do I put all this stuff lol
This could be a replacement to GameGlass. I am thinking about adding an MFD to my chair set up but I have been thinking about some kind of tablet to run GameGlass. This seems like a more rugged option to me.
@TheNOOBIFIER1337 Hi, and thank you for all the great content you provide. Long time sub. Might I ask what seat it is that you have installed in the video above? :)
This video just made me go out and pick one up. It was something i have been thinking about for a while and this pushed me over the edge. Managed to get the 32 button one from Amazon UK with the payments split over 5 months, which makes it a little easier to swallow. NOOB are you planning on sharing your profiles (MSFS and Star Citizen), as would like something as a starting point? I thought you said in the video you were, but cant find them anywhere? Am I just being blind? Great video as always.
Seems you failed to point out one VERY powerful feature of using multiple streamdecks. You can click a button on one to change the display(s) on another. Forgive me if you did mention this and I missed it. But it looked like you used each one for similar layouts, just scaled down.
Would you be able to share how you mounted these? I'm looking to do something similiar with my Monstertech chair and mounted joysticks, with the steam deck right in front of the joysticks like you how there.
Looks great. I just find the stream deck XL a bit expensive. Is there any windows 10 app that can do something similar? That way I can connect my ipad via Duet and do something similar and perhaps even more advanced.
Great video and thanks for sharing. Got the stream deck xl but would love to know how to get started in MSFS2020. How to assign one button such as gear up would be a start. Can’t see your email? Thanks again for inspiring me to use my deck.
Hey there, just saw this vid of yours as I have been thinking about getting a stream deck for DCS. I do have one question though, is there a lot of work in setting up the buttons on the stream deck to coincide with the buttons and switches in the cockpit ie configuration, scripting, downloads required and so on.....if so I think it would be easier just to learn the keyboard I just want something easy like the stream deck with just as easy set up - not into hard work or long thought out config, I am using a Tartarus for WoW and that was simple set up with installing one piece of software that just worked with the Tartarus, no scripting or config it just worked. Will the Stream Deck for a cock pit be just as easy?
I'm still not understanding. Side thing from this video. I have the TM Couger MFD and I want to get the Monster Tech Chair mounts to for my set up. When I look on their site all I see is desk mounts for the MFD. How do I get a set up for mounting to my chair along with my hotas?
AND we need 12 column stream deck now for G1000 haha. and what suck on G1000. there is no indicator light if you have some mode on(standby) or off. how make button state to see how it is on game? it need some plugin.is there simconnect plugin? i made quick c# program all worked same as fsx lol after include new simconnect dll xD
Those are Monstertech parts from Germany (see Noobifier's link and discount code above) - I think he's combined the MFD/Tablet Mount Center with the Winwing Panel Mount (SKU 00710001) with the Stream Deck XL Adapter (SKU 00560003) but best to confirm with Noobifier if you can.
Brilliant setup. Can I ask though how you have all of your usbs connected and if you have any issues with disconnects, Windows confusing devices etc? I counted 7 devices (3 stream decks, stick, throttle, keyboard, mouse). I'm not having any luck with USB hubs, powered or otherwise and I've only got 5 devices(mouse, keyboard, dual sticks and throttle). Wondering if there is a certain hub you'd recommend or software for managing devices.
Look into PCI USB cards. You can only get so much bandwidth through your mobo's USB controller, but PCI cards have their own lane. It's basically a must for simmers since nobody puts enough damn USB ports on mobos anymore! I use a PCI card, along with a 10 port hub that has two on-off buttons. That way I can turn off a whole bank of devices.
I have the normal streamdeck, but I dont really get how you can bind hundreds of keybinds in one game. Dont they get confused and do a few things as once or missunderstand? I got some issues in some games, specially in StarCitizen before, but in other games also! Ctrl+alt+T might activate Ctrl+T and Alt+T aswell. Either way, I will prob get one of these mounts, I am buildning my new rig and table as I am writing this!
@@NOOBIFIER1337 Than it is quite a pity they do not make also sort of master + slave units. Because button price change from ~16 € to 8 € with increasing size. It is lovely thing especially i.e. for someone flying more than 1 bird in DCS who wants something more than just keyboard and controllers but specific home cockpit cannot fit different planes. (And I was thinking that my expenses had been satisfied with VKB Gunfighter. Now they want to rise again ... bastards)

I Love Lego!
This is almost invaluable info. Thank you for taking the time to explain this.
Edit: The B-roll was excellent as well.
I use this in Farming Simulator. Not as complicated as a flight sim, but close, and it helps with immersion.
I want to play that game in the future.. is it fun?
Can we get those button profiles? They look amazing! Clearly time and effort went into them.
I thought I was going crazy trying to find them!
Couldn't find the button profiles... anyone know where I could?
Email me

@@NOOBIFIER1337 what's your email. I'm interested in getting your presets
These things look really useful for a ton of uses I might end up getting a few for my setup at home.
Aaaand purchased. I received a few spare MTX tablet holders to experiment with recently, and you just confirmed what I wanted to do with one of them.
Thanks again for sharing your perspective and great use of the stream deck
I use Matric, same thing but for any device. 👍🏼
Matric App. It's great. I use it too.
I did NOT know stream decks could be modified/used this way as a MFD for flight sims! I am SO getting one for DCS :) Thanks a lot dude!
I have used the 15 button stream deck. It's an amazing accessory for gaming, work, and everything in between.
Highly recommend stream deck.

Psychobob clickable buttons are a major advantage though, would you not agree?
@@NOOBIFIER1337 Probably a lot more premium feeling quality overall. You definitely can't beat the tactile feel of a physical button.

Your OCD makes my life better. Thanks NoooooB!

Thanks for sharing the stream deck profiles. I'm interested in the Adobe one, well and Star Citizen.
I like it! I didn’t know they worked in that way. Very usefull, and looks fantastic.
Never thought about this concept, for programmable buttons, thanks for sharing this.
The Streamdecks are are great. I just wish i could afford one.
I had the same idea for using stream deck as MFD's, I thought I might be crazy, good to see it is actually a cool idea.
I mainly use my small stream deck to control the profiles of my other stream decks as well as controlling the record function of geforce experience.
Man your setups are always so beautiful
I have the Obutto r3volution cockpit, warthog , ditched the throttle for Star Citizen. Crosswind pedals .

Oh, this looks useful. I don't have money for it now, but will certainly keep it in mind for the future.
Buttons that are also displays is kind of amazing. Goddamn. Never heard of a stream deck before.
I guess you do streamdeck. This is a great idea think I’ll pick one up.
That rug on the floor is way cooler than the streamdeck!
It was less expensive too...
The Virpil Mongoos is on indefinite back order. One can have your HOTAS for about $3,000 though. Nice setup, rich guy!
The Rocinante mongoose is no longer sold. WarBrd is available. I normally don’t pay for my hardware.. so, it’s not that I have a bunch of money or I am rich. I am just a soldier, this is a hobby for me to waste some time.

Very interested in some of those icons as a starting point. Atm I am just using basic text
For space games, what do you prefer?
- Gameglass
- Stream Deck
Awesome job! I love your channel man!
See you!
Well, sir star citizen it’s Game Glass. No VR Support ever planned.
Nice setup! Such a good idea running the stream decks!
This is very interesting. I have MSFS 2020 and this would be great. Do you use it on Star Citizen? If so, do they have templates already made for SC?
Woof. Long term SC controller goals! :D
I have a mini... I want the XL so badly.

@@NOOBIFIER1337 sorry missed that, will ping you in a bit. Thanks for your help
I wouldn't say the 32 button deck is limitless. I'd say it has more programmable button variations than any sane person would need. ;)
I had tested putting folders into folders, and got bored and stopped at 10 nested deep. so 31x10x32. 9920 binds by the time I got bored..

Nice and neat setup
maan that looks really cool

how make button state to see how it is on game? it need some plugin.is there simconnect plugin? i made quick c# program all worked same as fsx lol after include new simconnect dll xD

Just an FYI for anyone looking to get a stream deck: They don't support any GNU/Linux and have no plans to.
yooo Where did you get those 80/20 hinge/joints that you can adjust and tighten like you have in the middle under your big button box?
nevermind i found them. been looking for something like these. Elesa hinges
Ideas for my setup
Woot!
Hmm interesting. Flight ✈️ sim content time.
What's your take on Streamdeck vs gameglass for SC? Is the difference only haptic?
Depends on the game. Some games aren’t supported by GG. Some games in VR need a button to feel.
Do yu have a link for the profiles / Icons ? thanks.
How come you won’t share your icons/profile?
looks slick
How can I get a copy of your key bindings for the elgato
So you finally installed it. How Many attempts? I got tired trying.
Which button opens the Bombay doors?
😳 wowzers!!!!!!????
Cool
can you tell me how you set up all the cams? How to toggle them with the stream deck?
They are all just Hotkeys. Its pretty simple to program these buttons to be hotkeys.
@@NOOBIFIER1337 alright. Will try. And do you know how to set up a button to toggle seatbelt and no smoking on and off? Thanks a lot!
Do you share your icons and/or profiles? Thank you
Where do you get the images for each binding?
As a VR user I cry that I can't have this :(
OMG, they ask 150 € for 15-button box. 10 € for 1 button.
It looks nice but compared to price of the flight controllers it is insane.
It basically has a full CPU inside to control the screen
@@NOOBIFIER1337 Than it is quite a pity they do not make also sort of master + slave units. Because button price change from ~16 € to 8 € with increasing size.
