    Thanks for the video on this! I picked up a stream deck to use as a button box and I thought it would be that easy to set up. The hot key switch feature is going to be a lifesaver in endurance races!

    I just built a total custom button box with ignition , toggles you name it. Love it. But I had a stream deck laying around my kids don’t use anymore. Hands down wish I never made the button box and had instead just bought a second XL stream deck. It’s just so much better and so much more versatile

    May have missed it. But is there a way to make the switch latching. Meaning it stays on after it’s pressed. I want to use it as a gear shift selector. But the game (ATS) needs it to be latching and not momentary. Assigning it to a regular key, you can press it, but once you release it, the vehicle goes back into neutral. It needs it to latch so when you press D, it stays until N or R is pressed.

    I'm afraid not, they are momentary switches. But you may be able to use a "hot key switch" and map the same keyboard letter twice
