One of the items that i did buy end 2024 on AliExpress is a cheap StreamDeck. Below some photos of this item. And i also did buy a second one to give it as a present. What is a StreamDeck? I expect it is possible to fill multiple blog post about a StreamDeck and why you should want one. In short it is an USB hardware device with a display and buttons and some software. Using the software you can assign pictures and functions to the buttons. It is also possible to create a menu like structure to make different pages on the StreamDeck with other functions and pictures on the StreamDeck.
There are functions for the menu structure, opening and closing programs emulating keystrokes and you can even assign multiple items to one key and add delays between starting these items. The program gices access to a 'playstore' where you can find multiple free functions for several programs. There are also functions for home automation, changing your hue lights and sending MQTT messages.
On youtube you can find several good videos about streamdecks (there are several form factors even with turning wheels) that explain it much better than i can do here in this blogpost.
