 A day earlier than expected, my loop deck has arrived, so I'm gonna do an unboxing and have a quick comparison between it and the stream deck. Hello, welcome to Take One Tech, my name's Alec. So in this video, I'm just gonna be doing an unboxing of the loop deck. Now, I don't normally do unboxings. I usually just rip things straight out of the boxes and get to work with them. But for this one, I did just want to have a look at how it looks coming out of the box because I've had a lot of preconceived ideas about this before actually receiving it. People who are regular viewers of my channel will know what a fan of the stream deck I am. And so I'm really curious to see how this one ends up fitting into my workflow and how it compares to the stream deck because it's quite a lot to live up to in my opinion. I do like the build quality of the stream deck and it's just all around a good device that is the core of my sort of general workflow in everything really, not just in making these videos but also it's sort of filtered through into everything else I do on the Mac as well. So yeah, I am just gonna do an unboxing. I'm not gonna go through the whole setup at this point. I'm just literally gonna do a comparison between it and my first impressions of getting the device in my hands basically. So let's get straight on into it, shall we? And finally putting my top down camera to some use. So I haven't done anything with this except just this little tape at the bottom. So we open that up, we've got another box inside. Just take that out. This is where I'm gonna drop it, isn't it? It's obvious it's inevitable really if I'm doing anything as an unboxing for the first time. I'm bound to just drop it on the floor or something. Nice, shiny writing on the box. And then let's lift it up. I tell you what, Apple has really done something. There we go, first bump. Apple has really done something for the world of electronics packaging because everything now has this thing where you just lift it up and it just goes as the box sort of falls out from it. So everyone's paying a lot more attention to packaging now since Apple sort of stepped up the game. Anyway, so this is what we've got in the box. We have got a quick user guide, which I will come to later. There's not much to it actually, so just a few pages. And then we've got this one which is warranty and safety information. I hope this can't hurt me. Do I need to read that before I go on? Or shall I just, shall I just be brave? I'll be brave, I'll leave the safety information. I hope there's no explosives in here. And then how do we get this out? Ah, I see, just like that. Pull up from the side and we've got the actual loop deck itself. It's actually a little bit smaller than I was expecting and it is definitely a little bit lighter. So this is the loop deck live, I should say by the way. And then I've got my Stream Deck XL on the table. So let me just pop that one off the stand. You can see the size of it by comparison. There you go. It's sort of, yeah, goes to about the last row of buttons and from the top to say the bottom row of buttons. So that's how small it is. It's actually quite a bit thinner as well. Definitely not as weighty as a device. So you can see there the sort of size of it. It's pretty uniform all the way along whereas the Stream Deck has obviously got this sort of tapered shape to it. And then not to mention obviously the, whoops, don't wanna press my Stream Deck by accident, do we? There we go, I'll go back to that. Little, whoops, Daisy, that's the wrong one. I have to be careful about this. So obviously we've already got the stand on the Stream Deck as well so it does stand up like that. Whereas the Loop Deck has got, it's got a built-in stand, I think. It's got another little stand that comes with it. Let's press on shall we and find out. I didn't mean to press that stinger, I promise. But while it's there, if you did like this video, so far then give it a like and subscribe and consider supporting the channel as well. Now what else have we got in the box? It's a bit of a dark box, isn't it really? Black on black. But if I open that up now, then we've got a cable and it is, it is a USB-C to plug into the computer. USB-C to plug into the Loop Deck. And then also there is this handy little dongle to convert from a USB-3 to a USB-C as well. And what else have we got in here? We've also got the stand. The stand feels a little bit flimsy actually. It's a little bit sort of, yeah, does feel a little bit flimsy, a little bit plasticky. And that looks like it just fits into these little screw holes. In fact, let me take the protective plastic off first of all. Peel that off there. And, ah, well this is interesting because this is basically one of the things that I was thinking about this, if I just take off this plastic, take it off from this side, take this off all the way around. I can immediately see that one of my complaints that I had, not complaints, but one of my worries I should say that I had about it before getting it, it's probably a little bit unfounded actually, which is quite pleasing. So let me have a look at this. So in the bottom we've got these screw holes. This has got some little holes in the bottom or little sort of studs if you like. And that just plugs in there and then snaps on it like that. It does feel a bit flimsy this does to me. It doesn't feel quite as sturdy as the Stream Deck. This one on the back. However, it does feel quite solid actually now that it's on there saying that. So perhaps it is all right after all. But I was wrong. I was wrong about something. And I tell you what I was wrong about. Although these are touch screens, so they're not physical buttons in the same way that they are on the Stream Deck, they have got ridges. It's not just like a solid piece of glass that goes all the way across it. So you can see that there are definite indentations there. Let me see if I can just brighten this color a little bit. Hang on a minute. I'll just try and brighten this because I feel like it's a little bit dark. Am I bright? I'm doing the wrong one now. One second. I'll just bring that up a little bit so hopefully you can see that bit better. Don't want to wash it out too much. But yeah, so there are these ridges between these buttons, but they aren't sort of push buttons as such. So they're not push buttons in the same way that they are on the Stream Deck where there's a distinct sort of clunk to them when you push them in. However, there is definite, there's ridges between them. So you would actually, because my thing with the Stream Deck is always that I can just put my hand on it. And I know, you know, if I put my hand here, which is where my hand sort of naturally rests, then I know that this button here is to end the live stream. This button here is to go to my main scene. This one is to go into live demo mode and this one is to hold down the control to zoom in and things like that. So I just know instinctively where all the buttons are. So I tend to just sort of have my hand on the Stream Deck like that. And then I can just control everything from there or come over to the other side and I kind of know where I'm going from that side as well. So that was one of the worries that I had about the Loop Deck because of this just being a single flat screen, but actually it's not at all. It's got these little ridges. And that would mean that actually you can feel where the knobs are obviously on it. And so you would be able to come down and sort of reach across and know kind of where you were because of that. Interesting. The dials feel really solid. They are push button as well. So you can sort of push them in. I've got a little satisfying click to them. And they also, I don't know if you can hear this. They've got like little ratchets in them as well. So you can actually turn them by sort of incrementally by, well increments funnily enough, and they've got quite a nice feel to them. And these buttons at the bottom as well feel good as well. So I'm already quite impressed actually. It's, yeah, I was thinking that this was just going to come as a single glass screen. And then I would be feeling like it was going to be too difficult to find what I was looking for and too difficult to find the buttons that I wanted. And I would be pressing the wrong things, but I actually just don't think you would press the wrong things. There is swiping on it as well. And so yeah, we'll see how that works out as well. Let's just plug this in. The cable is a little bit on the short side. That is actually, it is really short. That is, how long is that? Let me get my trusty tape measure. That is, so there you go. It is about a meter long. So what's that, 38, 39 inches. That's quite short really, to be honest. I mean, the stream deck comes with a really long cable. And if you've got your computer, if your computer isn't on your desk. So for example, my mini is, it's actually on a shelf underneath the desk. So all of my cable sort of route across the desk and then go down through a little hole and then to the mini. So this already, if I'm gonna have the loop deck here, I can tell you now, that will only just literally just reach the edge of the desk where it's gonna go. So what I am gonna have to do is I'm gonna have to pause this and I'm gonna have to source a longer cable. Fortunately, the stream deck, I was gonna say the stream deck comes with two, but it doesn't, does it? Bear with me one second, I'll be right back. Okay, I'm back. I'm back, but I haven't plugged my headphones back in. So it sounds a bit funny. There we go. I can hear what's going on now. I don't have a long cable, so I will have to go and get one. However, what I forgot was, and this isn't the ideal way to set this up. But I do still have an old school keyboard. And the old school Mac keyboards, I've got USB plugs in the side of them. So yeah, definitely wanna be plugging this directly into the Mac mini rather than over an old, probably USB two, USB one, I'm not sure. Keyboard connection. So yeah, definitely not the best way to connect it. But nevertheless, for the time being, for me to just try it out, then this will work. There is two ends on this cable, by the way. One of them is like a 90 degree turn. And I see in all the pictures and people using it that that is the one that you have on there. I'm not sure whether I'll have it go out that way. I know some people complained about the cable positioning and I'm inclined to agree really. I suppose it's just the thinness of the thing. It would be difficult like with a stream deck, you've got plenty of space underneath to plug it in. Whereas here, they're trying to keep the thing thin. And so that's why it's going out from the back there. So yeah, I'm not that fussed about it to be honest. But what I'll do is I'll just plug this into the port on the side of my keyboard until I go and get a longer cable. I'll just bring it out from the front. And then this is plenty long enough. But we definitely need a longer cable. So I'm just gonna plug that straight in and let's see what happens. I have actually installed the software. I installed that the day that I ordered it, in fact, to be a little bit prepared. But when you first do a switch it on, you get these little, it almost looks like Pac-Man, doesn't it? Little loop deck icons. And what I probably need to do is actually open the software on the computer. That might help my tip. So let me go ahead and do that. Open it like this and then this should pop up up in the menu bar. Something is springing to life. Let's have a little look, where has it gone? Now that is what that's done is because I've already installed my e-cam live. I'm not gonna set up e-cam live on here today. I am going to do that as a completely separate video. This is more just for specifically just having a little look and seeing how it works and seeing how we get it set up. We've just got a few other things opened up here. How rude of them. I don't be creative, Cloud. I definitely don't want you open. So I'll open up the loop deck interface. It is just uploading or rather opening, I should say. And it's telling me that what I need to do is first of all, first things first, update the loop deck firmware. So let me just pause this and I'll get that done. In fact, while we're doing it, let's just have a little look at the process, shall we? It's just updating, it's disconnecting the device and then we've got a few little blinking buttons flashing on it as it just reboots everything. Do not disconnect device. And I didn't really pause for very long. So this is how long it takes to update the firmware. Device disconnected, device connected and we are done. There we go. So that was pretty quick. And it comes into this screen. So let me come back to the top-down, shall I? We've now got a screen here that's open and it's already populated with some actions. So we've got Google Chrome, lots of Google stuff in here actually, Google mail. And then we've got WhatsApp and Twitter as well. So if I press any one of those, then now there's something that I just wasn't expecting. I didn't realize that there was like haptic feedback on these buttons. So there's a bit of a sort of vibration to it. So when you press on any one of these buttons, and there we go, that's just opened up Twitter. And if I press this one, let me see if you can hear this. I press these buttons, there you go. So there is a bit of a vibration to it to let you know that you have actually hit something or activated something. Now the big question is how about the, we've got multiple screens here. How does the swipe work? So I know some people have mentioned about that. So we've basically got here, they've seems like they've created three screens for us. So we've got these three buttons that are illuminated. One, two, three, the four, five, six, seven are just off at the moment, no light on them. So if I press two, then you can see it's basically moving to another page of apps. So, or sorry, actions I should say. So that is the way that those work, but you can also swipe between them using your finger apparently. So let me just try that. Again, you get the haptic feedback. And you can swipe either the whole length, you can swipe a little bit or on one of the buttons. Perhaps if you swipe on one of the buttons, it just actually activates the button. So that might be it. But if you just swipe across all of them and how slowly can we go, let's try. That's a bit too slow. That's okay. And then let's try really quick. That seems pretty good to me. Obviously limited testing. But I know some people were asking about whether there'd be any issue of accidentally touching the buttons as you're swiping through them. But I mean, that's pretty. It's just, you can hear the motors we're in as I'm doing that, as I'm swiping. So that's swiping backwards and forwards on it. Now, you've also got these controls on the, or these little screens, if you like, down the side and down this side as well. And those tell you what the dials actually do. So we've got a few of those put in already. So we've got web scroll. Let's get a website up, shall we? And just give that a little test. In fact, let me just open Safari. See if it just does it automatically in whichever browser you're in. Go to a page. And that is for scrolling up and down. I'd never used that, to be honest. I'd never scroll a website with that as opposed to my mouse. But it's just interesting to see how it feels. This one is a volume at the top. So that is, I'm liking this already, to be honest. I like the fact that you've got this sort of tactile feel to them as well. And in fact, you can't see this. But if you imagine the volume slider on the Mac, that you normally operate with the keys, and then each one of the little turns of the loop deck represents one little increment of the volume. So that's really nice actually. Yeah, let me have a look at what else we've got on here. So we've got a little clock showing up at the top here. So these are just the default things. I've not gone in and changed anything at all with these. We've got the little clock, the little date, linked to loop deck on YouTube and the loop deck knowledge base. We've got that one there, system preferences. And indeed it brings up system preferences. Let's have a little look at what do these do. Don't do anything in there at the moment, media track. And we've got brightness as well, brightness control. And then that is another, I think that that looks like actually Spotify. I think that is perhaps a separate volume knob for Spotify, because Spotify is on there as well. I shouldn't probably be just opening all of these things up, should I, while I'm making a recording, but never mind. It's all in the interest of experimentation. So that is opening up Spotify. And let me just check if that is indeed changing the Spotify volume. I'm not sure that it is actually. Let's have a little look. No, I should probably just figure out what these are before just trying to twiddle the motion. Let's see what else we've got on these dials though. That looks like, there is a sort of calculator built into it. I'm not sure where that actually operates though. We'd have to open the calculator, I suppose. And then these would be the controls for that. So let's have a little look at the software then. I wasn't gonna do a full sort of setup and everything like that of the software because what I plan to do is actually, rather than just give you the painful experience of sitting here as I go through everything. Incidentally, my sort of method for learning apps is basically just go through and try everything. That's it. There's no secret to it. Whenever I get a new app or anything, first of all, go to the menus, go down through every single menu command, find out what all those things do, open up the preferences, go through every single page of the preferences, read every single preference. That's all there is to it. That's all there is to it. Do that again a couple of times and then you've got a quite a familiar arity with the app. So that is what I'm gonna do with this one. And then I'll be coming and doing some more videos in this and probably trying to give the impression like I've been using it for ages, but you will all know this secret, won't you? You'll know the secret that I've literally just got this today. So if tomorrow I'm making a video all about the interface and everything like that, it's a day old. Secret's out. So yeah, this is basically where you go and program it. Like I say, I've just not dug into this at all. My instant reaction to it though is a little bit more complicated than the Stream Deck. Not that there is Stream Deck's pretty basic really in terms of the interface, isn't it? But let's have a look at this. This is the Stream Deck interface. So here you've just got the actions. You click on the action you want and then you've got a, or if you've got an empty space you can just come over here and grab an action and drag it and drop it. And then you can set what you want the action. So let's just see out of the box how intuitive this software actually is. Not that I'm, but there's sort of benchmark or anything like that. But let's go to here. So if I want to create another screen I'm going to press on the four button on my loop deck because I would think that that would add another page. But it doesn't. Okay, so I'll click on it on here. That doesn't add another page. How about that one? Click on the little dots. Add new page, there we go. So should we just figure this out? Should we just have a little go through and figure out as we go along? And then when I come and do my ones about all my setup I'll be a little bit better prepared. So if you don't want to watch the painful experience of me figuring this out, then thanks for watching. Don't forget to like and subscribe. You need not watch no further. But if you want to stick around and watch me try and figure this out then be my guest, you're more than welcome. So we've got these little three dots here that are next to the one, two, three. I haven't read any instructions for this by the way either. So let's just see if it is really that intuitive. Because Stream Deck is just really intuitive in my mind. So the three dots there is to add another page. So let's try and add another page. There we go, simple as that. And we've also got these two pages for the buttons. So these, sorry for the dials. So these ones control the dials. It looks like the left hand side and the right hand side are totally linked. So you've basically got sort of, you can't change to what the dials do independently on both sides if you see what I mean. So if you've got this page one of the dials then you're gonna have this one, this volume, brightness and whatever that is. Play, pause, controls and these three together. And if you go to page two, all six of these change. So you can't sort of flick those two independently. Which probably would be quite nice actually if you could. So there's my first feature request. Let me make a note of that. Having not even used it, that is a feature request. I'm gonna just add another one on there because what I don't wanna do is just go and start messing around with what was already there. So I'll add another page. I wonder how many pages you can add? Should we find out? Let's just go and have a little look. Well, I suppose there's a bit of a giveaway here, isn't there? We've got the numbers one to seven. So I'm guessing you can add seven. Let's just go and just double check that. It would be a bit silly if you could add more than seven if you've got seven hardwired buttons. But never know. Oh, well there you go, you can. Well now, so what did you do with that? So you've got seven hardwired buttons, but you can actually swipe to number eight. It's almost like a secret page, isn't it? Let's see how many you can add in. Surely not more than 10. There we go, we've reached the limit and the limit is 14. It probably says all this in the instructions, doesn't it? But it's sometimes fun to explore and find out. So we've got 14 pages there and now there's one question outstanding, isn't there? How many vertical pages can we add in? Let's have a little look, shall we? I hope this is riveting viewing. I did give you the option of bailing, didn't I? I gave it, so we've got 10 pages there. Well, that's a little bit more intuitive, isn't it? Nice round decimal number. So we've got 10 potential sets of functions for this and then we've also got that. I'll tell you what I'm gonna have to do. I'm gonna have to get a calculator out because just very quickly, I should be able to do this in my head, but where is it? It's basically 14 times, how many have we got there? That's 14 times 12 plus 60. 228 button pushes and then we've got 60 dials that we can use. So there's quite a lot of functions there, isn't there? And with the stream deck, well, the stream deck's a bit different because we've got all the different profiles as well. So I'm not sure this is pages and I guess in this is just actually on a profile. So interesting, the journey continues. So let's have a little look at how I actually set up some of these now. I wonder if I can flick to that yet. I can't use those buttons just yet. In fact, I'm wondering now if these aren't actually programmed to go to a specific page until you actually, ah, it is indeed, you have to, you have to actually assign those to a particular page. So what I could do is I've clicked on that little button there and then add button action. So what button action could I have? Let's have a little look. We've got desktop actions. So we've got some different groupings of actions. We've got the OS, we've got navigation, custom, Spotify, and now that's interesting, where did? We did have an e-com live in here a minute ago. Hmm, interesting. Let's have a little look in here. Ah, there it is, e-com live. I see, so that is basically, that is the profile. So we've just switched profile there. Let me get back to, let's get back to the main one. So that is the profile that's already built in for that. Then if I go to Photoshop, let's have a look at that. Well, that's interesting. It's basically already set up. That is really interesting. So that's something different than Stream Deck. With Stream Deck, although you can get plugins for different things, there isn't actually Photoshop plugins for it. You can get some Photoshop icons and things like that, but they're not there by default and they certainly aren't just ready set up like that. That is, that is really interesting. So this is the Photoshop page. Let's have a little look at what we've got in there. Well, that's a bit of a time saver, isn't it? That is a bit of a time saver indeed if they've got the things already there. Let's have a little look at this one. I see, I'm liking this. I'm like, my first impressions are, having been a little bit worried that the, I wouldn't like the touch screen as much. I am just liking already, they've got Final Cut, Pro actions in there as well. And it looks like there is a little look, but multiple different pages on that one as well. Or it looks like just one page on that one actually, but there are some assignments to these buttons as well. Set selection, right. Okay, so these buttons down at the bottom then, you can actually just apply those. I was thinking that those were for pages, but they're not, they're just actually buttons. And it just happened to be that on that first profile, they were just assigned to change the pages. So that was all that that was going on there. And but in actual fact, these buttons could be anything. So if you do want hard wide sort of hard tactile buttons, there is still seven of them. You just would have to remember what those were for each of the individual profiles that you were in. And those are sort of going to then be common throughout all of the pages within that profile. So pages in here, I've got ridiculous, 14 pages. These buttons would stay the same no matter what page you're on. But as soon as you actually changed to a different profile, then it would, those buttons will all update even the hard buttons at the bottom. So the question is, how would you change the, how would you change the profile? I guess you could have those as hardwired buttons then perhaps, or would that be a button on there? I guess we'll have to find out that as well, won't we? Let me just go to one of these blank pages again then. And I'll have a little look at the actions. So we've got the actions for the OS navigation. And so we've got things like activate, what's that? Activate different applications, clipboard. Lots of things related to clipboard date and time. So that's where you can add the clock, things like that. Moon phase, week number, keyboard. So simulating keystrokes and stuff like that. Obviously quite a lot of those. Literally simulating all the keystrokes of the keyboard. And what else we've got? Keyboard modifiers, media. My instant thought of this is that there is a hell of a lot more actual actions built into this potentially than there is with the stream deck in some ways. Although I tend to use stream deck pretty heavily with keyboard maestro in any case. So that's not quite such an issue. But there's all sorts of different things here. So basically like simulating a mouse drag and stuff like that, holding down the left key, a mouse drag holding down the middle key and things like that. So that's quite interesting. In fact, these ones look to me, I see. So these ones here, they're actually, the rotating symbol there is assigned, so they can be assigned to these dials then. And that was indeed Spotify volume and then brightness. And then the, so you've got the two things that you can assign to them for either the rotation or for the action when you press it. And then if you look in the menus at the side, we've got some of these that are press actions and some of them that are rotation actions as well. It's quite interesting though, that is to be honest. Like some of these have in these actions where it's a combination of like a mouse movement with the dial, very interesting. My mind's worrying at the moment, thinking about the possibilities now with this. So we've got some system stuff, brightness, open the finder, go to the previous app, command tab. It's just that one. I suppose it's different to command tab because command tab brings up the app switcher, but this is actually just switching to the previous one. Widgets, what are widgets? Beats per minute, bell and a stopwatch. Okay, not sure I'll be using those ones. And let's have a look at this one. Navigation, workspaces, touch pages. Okay, so there we go. So these are basically, we can have a button to switch between to different pages. So that's how we go to different pages. Presumably there'll be one here for dial pages so you can actually assign a click to change to the different page as well. Got you, or next or previous. So you could, if you wanted to assign buttons to these, you could just assign a button to it for like next and previous. But in actual fact, you can just swipe on them as well to move between them. So that is that one. What have we got in here? Custom, app and action shortcuts. So some apps in there. YouTube, I wonder what the integration is with Google on this because it's pretty Google heavy this, isn't it? Chrome, Google Drive, Gmail, WhatsApp, YouTube, a lot of Google stuff going on there, isn't it? App actions, calculator, emoji, launch pad, lock screen, loop deck, maximize. And calculator. I'm still not sure entirely where that's gonna work if it just is on the actual calculator itself. Media, media control and system. Let's have a look at what's in system, web scroll. And then here we've got one that specifically all Spotify, all that sort of stuff. And then basically we've got these ones for other apps as well. So we can, and just incidentally, just to actually apply these things. So let's say I was gonna have a look at something to do with the volume shall I or something like that. Let's have a little look. So if I wanted to, let's say just open Chrome, it's just as simple as click on the button and then add the action. So Chrome, let's just see, do I just drag that? I say it's as simple as that. You see, I'm already trying to sound like I know what I'm doing, but there you go. So it is, you just drag that over and stick it wherever you want. Just put it right there on top. You've got some little drop downs that you can rename it, cut and copy and presumably paste once you've copied it. So you can move these actions into other places. This is just a filter. So if I click that, it will just show me only the rotation ones. Got it. So yeah, and then we've got a little search here and then we can just filter by the different type up there. And then you've also got this thing to manage plugins, which ones are showing up in this particular setup. So if I was to toggle that one on, then that would pop up in this list of plugins for this sort of profile as well. Then you've got workspaces, which are, workspaces, as I recall from the one video that I did watch about it, are basically a set of, in fact, that is actually, that's more like, I think you would think of profiles on a stream deck, I think, because workspaces is kind of like a setup of a specific set of the rotation, like the knobs actions and the buttons. So you just build a combination of the touch pages and the dial pages. So you could still be in one profile, but then you could have multiple different workspaces. So for example, for my Ecamm live, I'm thinking the different use cases that I have for it, and I could perhaps have an Ecamm live profile and then a different workspace for the different use cases I have for it, something like that. That's what I think that is. Yeah, I could actually just stay and play with this for some considerable hours. In fact, do you know what? I probably will. However, I won't make you sit through all of that. I'll just get to the bottom of it and report back. But yeah, initial impressions though are, I'm pleasantly surprised. I'm surprised by how compact and light it is actually. It is smaller than I was expecting. My sort of worries about, not worries really, where they, they were my mild concerns, let's say, about the touch screen has been sort of alleviated really because of the, it does have some tactility to it because you can feel where the buttons are. So you would know, for example, if you were on this up here, then you could put your finger down there and you would know where the button is. I need to see if I do actually inadvertently activate it at any point, but certainly for the time being, it looks, yeah, it's certainly better than I was anticipating. Not entirely sure about the stand. It feels a little bit flimsy, but then having said that, now that it's on there, it is pretty solid. It's not gonna come off easily without me sort of forcing it. And also because it is so light, it's not like it's gonna, you know, collapse or anything. It's not like a sort of kickstand. It does actually click firmly in place. And in fact, I'm just wondering now, if I would use it like that, or if in fact, with this one, I might even, let's be careful taking this off, I might even prefer to use this one down like that. I'm not sure yet. Or maybe mount them both together. We'll have to see. But yeah, I'm certainly, yeah, I'm certainly impressed with it out of the box. Bit disappointed about the cable length though. I mean, come on, that I don't know how close you are to your computer, but not everybody's got their laptop right on the desk or a Mac mini right on the desk in front of them. And it doesn't leave much room to sort of maneuver it around either. So, you know, if the, in fact, even if I've got the Mac mini right in front of me on the desk here, then this cable would only barely just reach around the back to plug into the port if I was gonna have this sort of next to me on the desk like this or over to one side. So, yeah, cable length is a bit of a, bit of a let down there, but never mind. We can always change the cables, can't we? So, that is all for this video, but you know that there is gonna be a whole series of Loupedeck videos coming up next. And the next one, I will do a sort of full rundown of actually setting up the Loupedeck for various different things. But I'm also gonna be doing, I think a live stream about the Loupedeck with e-cam live. So, keep your eyes out for that one as well. But in the meantime, I will leave a link to all my other Loupedeck videos as soon as they're finished over on the right-hand side. So, in the meantime, have a great day and I'm gonna get back to playing with the Loupedeck. Bye-bye for now.
