I used to want to get the Elgato Stream Deck, but I liked the "small LCD screen" in the buttons.
You say it's like a monitor, but it's not a monitor, it only shows icons. You say it's a keyboard, and it's highly playable. It can be simply understood as the Windows version of the KeyboardBar, that is, similar to the TouchBar function of the macOS system, but it cannot be touched.
It wasn't until I accidentally learned that Ajazz also launched a replacement that is definitely cost-effective: AKP153.
Without saying anything, I just placed an order to get one, I can't afford to buy the Elgato Stream Deck for 1299 yuan, and I can't afford to buy the Black Jue AKP153. Because I was out on a business trip last week, I left a message to the store to arrange a courier on Friday, so that I could receive the courier on Saturday and Sunday.
After finally receiving the express, I couldn't wait to open the box and inspect the goods. The weight of the box feels very light in my hand, and I think it is not the wrong delivery, haha!
Out of the box is an instruction manual, a USB Type-A to USB Type-C power cable, and a Black Jue AKP153.
The AKP153 is very intimate and comes with a storage box bracket as standard, and it is AKP153's deck body when you take it off.
AKP153 is 15 independent buttons, each button has a small LCD screen, and the long bar on the right is three independent icon list displays.
After the screen is turned on, you can see the default display of the logo.
After installing the software, you can use the deck, which is the default information board page of AKP153.
This is the commonly used **display icon shortcut key of the Black Lord AKP153.
This is the **console of the Black Lord AKP153,That is, the icon shortcut key of the **device。
This is a Mac control exclusive to Mac computers, which is actually the physical button version of Touchbar.
With a simple start, you can set up shortcuts for your own app.
Basically, you can find the corresponding common software in the software for shortcut key settings.
With the corresponding Adobe, C4D and other software, there are exclusive shortcut key adaptations.
By dismantling Sihai Ge, I found a secret that also verified my conjecture,That is, Heijue AKP153In fact, there is a complete screen inside,Resolution:854 480,It's just that there are actually two separate rows of wires connected to the PCB board in this part of the button。 It is recommended that the black lord AKP153 can shorten the cable of the screen to a reasonable range in the later stage, and the current cable is long and bent (a little worried that it will be damaged). The protective substrate of the secondary screen shown by the long bar icon on the right is actually a panel made of plastic, which has weak anti-friction and scratch resistance.
It can also be verified by the software, and the resolution is 854 480.
Through the supporting software, you can install the corresponding software adaptation plug-ins.
The default scene is a common shortcut that I use for myself.
If you are listening to songs, you can use the **console mode.。
For Mac computers, if you don't have a Touchbar, it is highly recommended to use this Black Lord AKP153, and you will feel the physical buttons"touchbar"Now, I'll call it a keyboardbar.
Preset commonly used**, for the web pages that often need to be browsed, I strongly use shortcut keys to open. Especially when you have bookmarked TV series and movies to watch, and when you order a takeout and are ready to eat, you can open the webpage with one click.
The function of the information board is very suitable for friends who want to see, which is equivalent to a screen display corresponding to one**, and this work will not be found if you want to see**.
I think the shortcut for Photoshop is the one I use the most.
If you use Adobe Lightroom, you can also use these commonly used shortcuts.
With AI Actions, you can also set shortcuts to use.
Autodesk 3ds Max also has its own adapted shortcuts.
For workflows, you can also use Adobe Premiere Pro software, which can be used with shortcut keys.
The built-in plug-in functions are still very rich, which can be understood as an "app store" of plug-ins, which can be used on demand.
Of course, there are also icons that can be customized, which is also very suitable for the individual needs of users.
You must know that domestic brands have been very skilled in localizing services in recent years, especially in creating replacement hardware. Considering that you want to experience the Deck console, it is a good choice in terms of choosing a brand, considering after-sales, and also experiencing the software of the Black Lord AKP153.
AKP153 is very cost-effective, and the software supporting experience is relatively easy to get started.
The built-in plug-in library of AKP153 supporting software is very complete, and it has done a very good job in localization adaptation and adaptation of some large factory software.
Looking at the black jue AKP153 button LCD screen at close range, the graininess is actually more obvious, and the current LCD screen display resolution is 854 480. If you change to Retina HD screen, the LCD screen display effect of this button will be better.
Black Jue AKP153 is too light, the plastic material is slightly cheap, and the secondary screen displayed by the long icon is actually a plastic panel that is easy to wear and leave scratches. Strongly launched an aluminum alloy body in the later stage, and then the secondary screen of the long icon display, it is recommended to replace it with a glass panel in one step to improve the protection and durability of daily use.
