This Desk Gadget Can Do Almost ANYTHING | Quick Keys by XenceLabs 

Just got one from Amazon, it's $80 I think for the rest of today (Prime Day crap)...Just throwing that out there

I watch a ton of desk setup videos and your channel is by far my favorite right now. Well shot, the pros and cons are made clear and while I love the inclusion of the items I’ve seen on other channels they all start recommending the exact same things. Your channel is a breath of fresh air. Wishing you continued success

Excellent review, and cool device! This channel is absolutely setting the standard for the review video genre. We get to hear your real-life experience, technical details, and practical uses for each of the gadgets you cover. It's to the point and not fluffed with nonsense, and EXTREMELY well-produced. THANK YOU for providing excellent quality content for mature tech nerds who care about what matters and don't want to bother with meaningless rants. As a bonus, I personally appreciate the wholesome script as it allows me to comfortably watch any of your videos with anyone in my family or guests whom I think might be interested in your content. KEEP IT UP! p.s. Your intros/outros are a super cool touch that give every videos a professional feel. Your video execution is putting tech review giants to shame, IMHO.

Wow, how does this channel have less than 10k subs? Such high quality work and the actual got me thinking about buying some of these peripherals -- something most desk tech videos do not achieve. Looking forward to how WFH evolves.

To remove flickering, just try to play with shutter angle ;). Or duplicate your footage, superpose, 50% opacity and one frame to the right. Hope it helps !

I’m surprised that you don’t have over a hundred thousand or even a million subscribers by now with how high quality your videos are. Keep it up!

Yo. Production quality, attention to detail, script, branding, and subtle touches like "screen does not flicker in person" just makes your vids A+. Gorgeous work, and all the best for the first million subs and beyond.

Just picked this up from Amazon UK for £76 (down from £125), exactly the thing I've been looking for......user friendly. Awesome videos by the way, keep up the great work. Earned yourself a subscriber.

Dude, I just went through your videos and have to say this is top notch content. Can't wait to see what's next. Subscribed!

discovered your channel yesterday, absolutely love every one of your solutions and recommendations - keep it up man!

In before 20k subs. You're well on your way to 500k and beyond with this production quality. Absolutely stellar work.

Another fantastic video, keep up the good work, these are a pleasure to watch.

Been loving the videos man! Giving me some great gift ideas for my brother that dabbles in programming! Would love to see a desktop gift ideas video! Keep up the great work

I've had the XenceLabs Quick Keys for about a year, and I really like it. I use it for video editing, and it makes things FAST!

Can’t wait to hear about that digital clock! Keep up the great work.

What a GREAT investment! Thanks for posting the video. Honestly I never heard about those kinds of devices (unless I saw something kind of similar on a stream), but man, this QuickKeys is honestly an incredible time cruncher. I am a Civil Engineer and when working CAD, this thing saves a lot of time. Plus its easy to use, and really mobile. Brought it to a trip I had and it comes with the case and everything. Thank you RU-vid algorithm for allowing WFH to appear in my feed Thanks Work From Hype for making an in-depth explanation on the topic. Keep it up!

Just purchased one of these, love your content and I’m eagerly awaiting your next video

What a discover!!! you are a very professional guy, i watched all your videos and i want to say you good luck for the channel!

been considering this as a budget alternative to the loupedeck/razer stream controller. i really do like knob and screen for labeling, but i also love the lcd screen for each button and knob for the loupedeck even more would be nice for elgato to make a stream deck with a knob in the $150 range. probably would be similar to the 15 button stream deck, but take away 4 button for a a big knob or 2.

Ha ha, one of the reasons I bought Quick Keys is because you CAN used it wired! It comes on when my Cintiq 24 Pro comes on, which even the remote that came with it does not do. To me, that alone is a big step up. The fact that it works with nearly anything might make it indispensable very quickly.

Keep up the reviews, big fan. Subscribed from your car thing video. Watched all the other right after.

Omg dude subbed, first I watch your mini display vid, a project I almost tried a month ago. And now you have an answer to my rotary encoder macro project. Legit have been planning out an Arduino micro macroknob project and this is legit the best solution having the software integration. Far out, I'm actually really impressed with your ability to provide a first person view in such high quality. 👍

I never cease to be amazed at the number of gadgets available on the market that allow one to improve the efficiency of the work setup and make it more stimulating. Right now, I'm making major changes to my home office, and this device will probably come in handy and look great on my Protractor desk from Manhattan Home Design. Thanks for the review!

I got myself a tourbox neo. It doesn’t have a screen. But it gives you a lot more options and it helped me a lot speeding up my editing process

Awesome! So happy I randomly stumbled on this video. Have one in my Amazon cart already

Great videos! Looking forward to the desk setup tour and maybe a video dedicated to your keyboard?

Great video! Def one of the best desk setups with a great podcast vibe. What stand do you to use to prop up the quick keys?

I think i need this for my music production! dope video man, subscribed.

Subbed! Great attention to detail and production quality.

I literally saw this in your Car Thing video and HUNTED for what it could be on google. It showed up yesterday, and here you are lol

The Linux support is much appreciated. I was planning on picking up a Razer Tartarus as a macropad to pair with my pen display for illustration work but Xencelabs having a native Linux driver seems to be a better choice for me than having to faff around with community drivers for Razer stuff on Fedora.

I was looking for reviews about this product and didn't found any like this. Thanks for the content

Ok i'm gonna be real, I've only seen two of your videos. Subbed. This content is crazy quality.

Crushing it man. Great video. Keep it up!

The fact that it's wireless is the killer feature above all. Sick.

Just ordered it from amazon as well. Appreciate the heads up.

Nice! Cool to see this device. I’ll be sticking with keyboard maestro since I can do a lot more with it and I have a software development background.

Please do a desk set up overview or something, those gadgets and the monitor setup you got is astounding

I think it's awesome that you're a fan of Phonk music! Great video btw!

I have one of these, but from the brand Wacom. Let me try this… right now… like literally right now!!! Thanks!

Excellent review! I'm definitely putting this in my cart to buy. I've also got one of the 49" monitors, what arm are you using to mount?

Realy nice video! You nailed it!

I too have a love of rotary encoders. My complaint for this item is the same I have for the wacom expresskeys remote- pressing a central button to cycle through the rotary encoder's functions is kind of clunky. That's why the multi-knob setups have been getting my attention lately. I'd love to see a review of the loupdeck or the tourbox for just that reason. Keep up the great work!

hey same here. i hope you can keep up this level of content. its the good stuff.

What monitor mounted light are you using? Thanks for another great video on desk setup tech!

Loving these videos! Have you happened to look into USB hubs? I find problems trying to get 10+ port USB hub that is powered and supports multiple high throughput devices without causing lag e.g. running a camera, microphone, misc peripherals, and a keyboard. Though I see that you have opted for some wireless devices which would help with this.

Lovely review

Did you have a preference between this unit and the Megaladon? Have you tried the work louder micro by chance? Cheers

Great video, what is the cable called or where do you get it? I love how it’s curly and makes the cable look interesting

Amazing Gadget... Thanks for this video... Can you tell me what screen monitor and monitor holder you are using at the beginning of your video. Thanks alot

I just bought the macropads you've recommended on the last video haha thanks for that. Tempting to buy this also. If may I ask. Do you use bought at the same time?

New subscriber here... I have watched all of your videos and they are great! I expect this channel to explode with viewership. I would really like to see you do a video about your wide-screen monitor vs having two or three monitors and the workflow of them. I'm currently using two screen monitors but I think if I got one big wide-screen monitor, it would clean up my work space...

man your video qualities just getting better and better each time! Excited to watch your den become overloaded with nifty gadgets. What's the Alice keyboard you've got up on the wall too? looks fun.

This is great. Finding some nice recommendations on your channel. This one in particular I’m interested being a video editor.

i’m glad i found your channel this early so i can watch how quickly you are going to absolutely blow up lol

Grabbed one to use with with some of the software I use at work, so I can expense it. Thanks for the video review.

I use a Stream Deck for this reason. Well, it doesn't have a dial but I like the displays and the interface of it

I actually purchased one of these on the back of this video and what it made me realise is that, for me to remember which of the buttons/dial settings and create their respective shortcuts for my own pipeline/workflow - I ended up inadvertently memorising the actual keyboard shortcuts 🤣 so rather swiftly, returned the Quick Keys device!

very interesting gadget! love videos like this

I don't work from home that often, I'm a laptop don...BUT this video is making me want to order everything on your workstation lol

Just found your channel and love it! I would be so down for a general desk tour/setup, if that's something you're interested in making!

Nice desktop setup! I was thinking about a car use scenario interacting with android, not android car nor other newer variants, but android tablet os. What do you think about it?

Can you set this to control each application's volume in the mixer? Thanks!

Dope videos man.

What stands are you using to prop it up in horizontal and vertical orientations?

Does it only connect wirelessly via the dongle? or can it connect via blueTooth? dongle looks quite chunky if I want to use it on a surface Pro with only a USB-C ports.

Love your channel! Could you tell me who makes your keyboard wrist rest?

Could you kindly point me to the keyboard rest you have? I've been looking for a wooden one with a slim profile and I really like your choice.

Is it possible to put gif or whatever instead of text for the screen? this seems like my main concern if we omit what you mentioned (the encoder feedback and the tactile bump when pressing a button)

Hi woundering what stand you use for your monitor, to keep it out of the way

Didn't quite get the answer for that but can you record macros or some more complex 10+ amount of actions under one button?

Hey, nice vids! Really beautiful setup:) Can you help me, what are your speaker stand? Can you name it?:)

I saw in the video a kund of stand or holder to bring it in a more upright position. Is this shipped with the device? If not where to get it?

Love it, nice review

Can you map moving your mouse with the dial though? Would be nice to use one of the keys below to switch direction up/down to left/right when holding the button. I did similar thing waaaay back when I got a keyboard with rotary volume control, and it was cool, although I needed to use hell of software tricks to make it work.

This is the second one of your videos Ive come along during my own exploration of "alternative input devices" haha I share your passion! Key question Im trying to solve is for youtube tutorials-- is there a way to use this or a DOIO pad to be able to play/pause and scroll or advance forward/backward in some fashion without having to click over to the youtube screen? Example: Im watching a maya tutorial on YT with maya open on my main monitor, on my laptop Im taking notes in notion. I'd love to be able to pause the player without having to click out and back into the notes or maya application. ive managed it for vlc using touch portal on an old ipad 4 that was lying around but their YT controls are plimited to the YT music app :/

Is it possible to set up a series of shortcuts on one machine and then use it on another machine? I want to do this for my work computer which is locked down. Btw been going through your videos and am loving the ideas it's been giving me!

hey great videos. i have been watching since the first one you published and love discovering new stuff in your background. what is the retro gameing desk clock in yellow on the back left of your desk?

Hi, does this work with an ipad? I know the ipad probably won't have the software for it but I'd like to know if it works as-is, however limited it might be without the software

Can this do a combination of functions, like a macro? (e.g. type out an email address, or pre-programmed script). I also wish the wheel had clicks, having a free spinning wheel is pretty dumb for a device like this.

You might prefer the mediapad by mountain, they also have a really nice lcd macro pad called displaypad.

Have you ever used a Tourbox? If so, it would be great to get your pros and cons and vs on that and the Quick Keys. I'm thinking about getting a XenceLabs tablet with a Tourbox instead of the Quick Keys bundle.

I feel like the Logitech MX Master mouse, with the customizable buttons and wheel, is enough for most designers. It can also be customizable for specific apps.

I see your desk is the vivo, but what about the desktop? Is it the vivo desktop too or did you purchase the desktop separately? I have the G9 49” and currently using a 25” depth desk and I feel WAY too close. But yours seems decent.

Hey great video! Im a industrial designer and i really like this type of products. What do you think about the steam deck as productivity device, to use in programs such as illustrator, photoshop, etc. Btw im impress by the quality of your videos, congrats!

I use my mouse for all my navigation but having a more minimal visual mice would be preferred and this could replace that and be wireless 🤔 I might put this on a wishlist I do like rotary devices too

This helped a lot thank you

Interesting you use the nuphy over your other boards. Any reason why? I see you got one of them endgame alice boards.

do you have a link for a stand for that? or how do you have it sitting up behind your keyboard?

Does it have built-in memory? Or do you need the software installed and open all the time?

What monitor arm do you use or is it the one that came with your monitor?

curious on what keyboard rest you are using?

Is the Premier Pro profile available on their website or is it something you created? I’d love to use it as a jog wheel. Wireless would be a plug compared to my current one!

You should check out the Elgato Stream Deck! Sort of a combo of this and the macropad you reviewed previously (though sadly no knobs).

It s like the macbook touch bar but one can use it with any computer. Sounds good.

Can you use this for MS Teams? I need a push to talk button or a button what mutes and unmutes Teams

Does this work with DaVinci Resolve 18 & can the scroll wheel be used with the jog function?

what boom arm are you using for your mic?

Are the shortcuts stored on the device? I want to use this with a work computer and can’t have the software installed

What wrist rest do you have paired with your Nuphy air75?
