So I'm bored and wondering how I can make my PC easier to use. Windaz 8 started off the "sideshow" thing and it seems to have died off. I was kind of hoping that Macbook Pros having their touch bar thing would have helped kick off some PC rip offs.
I was looking for either a small (circa 5 inch) touch display where I could create an interface myself using bundled software or a keypad which is totally programmable. I can find the latter but they are very cheap for say a numberpad but very expensive for a fully programmable system which is similar in terms of hardware. I appreciate the number pad just uses established standards and therefore is basically plug and play whereas more development is required on the software side for the programmable thing but you're looking at £20 for a high quality numberpad and ~£100 for a fully programmable system which is nearly the same in terms of hardware.
TL;DR - I'm looking for an auxillary control panel for my PC that is either hardware with fully programmable keys or a touchscreen interface which I can design from scratch and assign macros to what would just have to be an LCARS interface. I once made my Orange SPV phone an LCARS interface - highly amusing. If it's a keypress type thing which is cheap to make, my budget is small but if it's a touchscreen system I'm willing to spend more. I was considering using an old mobile phone to do it - anyone know any good software?
Christ I need to be more succinct, even the TLR was TL.
