Some might say you can never have enough buttons for controlling your PC. When we stopped by Cooler Master's Computex 2024 booth, it showed us its upcoming MasterHUB, due out this summer. The MasterHUB provides a set of customizable LED keys like those you'd find on an Elgato Stream Deck, with a unique twist. There are multiple components you can buy and snap onto a base that uses magnetic pogo pins to hold your dials, buttons, levers, and screens in place, letting you assemble your ultimate control panel.
At launch, Cooler Master plans to offer five different modules: the 15-key IPS display module (the one that looks like the main part of a Stream Deck), a five-slide fader control, a two-roller scroll module, a three-dial module, and a large LED dial with a customizable display. The first three of these modules plus the required magnetic base will be bundled together and sold as the MasterHUB Stream Kit for $399.
You can also purchase individual parts, though you can't use them unless you buy the $99 magnetic base. You'll be able to customize and control the MasterHUB using Cooler Master's software, which will have built-in function sets for popular programs such as OBS and Photoshop. You can also record custom keyboard macros and remap keys.
