Mountain debuted two new tech accessories aimed at streamers and content creators who want to elevate their setup. The ‘DisplayPad’ is a wired, customizable keyboard with 12 display keys that can be programmed to show any icon, symbol, or graphic that the user desires. This allows for thousands of customization options, and the keys are raised which allows them to click and travel when pressed. The keyboard also has a folder key feature that allows users to access a new set of keys after tapping on the folder icon. The ‘MacroPad’ adds RGB-based features.
With Mountain's Base Camp software, which manages key bindings, RGB illumination, and display setup, the new content-creation pads are fully customizable. The ‘MacroPad’ keypad can be positioned any way you like, whether it be at the top and tilted, on the side, or even at the bottom.
