I needed a small mini Streamdeck with a physical volume knob for teams/webex/etc.
I did not wanted to pay the premium price, and had a arduino pro micro, mx-style keys, and a rotary encoder laying around.
Also, the small stick is meant for securing the pro micro without anything else.
Also, i added 4x 18g fishing weights, to give it more heft.
Programming happened with mmjoy2 (freeware), you can do the same with freejoy apparently.
With this you end up with a joystick with basically 11buttons, and then i used joy2key (also freeware) to translate that into macros/keypresses i want.
The author marked this model as their own original creation.
