Hey guys, here's another vod of me streaming with virtual keyboard.

Hot Virtual Keyboard still works after the trial ends, but for some reason, it closes out after like 20-45 minutes for me, so I have to reopen it. Not sure if it's just me, but it's a little bit of a hassle to deal with.

(for the record, Flameling used Mieru Keyboard in the past, that I used too, I just don't really like using the 2nd monitor often so I stopped using it... I also thought mieru keyboard is too big ~.~)

well I'd use this but the the problem is I don't have money for the paid version and don't want to restart it every 20 minutes or something...

(also when you use both of these, probably turn off the scene while logging in so people can't copy your password)

I just tried the Goop Goop keyboard type and it lags horribly for me.

Will it be the same if I tried to use the original Hot Virtual Keyboard? I will give it a test sometime later but a heads up would be nice.

desRow was experimenting with this yesterday and it was great. The majority of his viewers enjoyed it.

Adds that extra "special something" to a stream I think.

Would love to see someone like Losira/KangHo streaming with this feature! :o

any idea how to make this work with OBS, other than screen capture? screen capture is a bit harder on the computer

That is kind of neat. I could see that being something that is not on-screen all the time, but is like something they pop up from time to time on a broadcast to show people what is happening. I dig it.

Professional SC2 players using this on their streams would be adding a big chunk of learning content to it. I get very frustrated when I can't see either the command card or a keyboard cam.

The same thing could be accomplished if SC2 had an onscreen key-input monitor. Doesn't SFIV have that?

I got mine working with a second monitor. Then captured the screen region where the keyboard is.
You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down.

Pretty much this. I can't stream even at 45 FPS, running game capture on SC2 + screen capture on monitor #2. It's a really cool idea for stream viewers but it's really intensive on the computer, if only there was a lower resource intensive option for bad computers :/.

I'll be testing it later tonight probably on OBS, using window capture not screen capture. I'll post with any results/feedback I do get, but I ran some tests on it and it seemed to have no impact on the 720p45fps stream I was running before.

I'd probably look elsewhere if I were you, he's been washed up for so long that he is hardly a super nerd let alone superhero.

Has anyone figured out how to get OBS to software capture the program itself rather than screen capture? It worked for the me the first time but doesn't recognize it anymore...it would help some progamers too. I'll edit the solution into the thread if someone posts it.

i would really love to see this replace shity keyboard web cams some streamers use. their fps is too low to see the clicks. Honestly Razer should release their own software to make it more popular.

Would be a matter of using scene-switcher correctly.
But you are totatlly right; using a visual keyboard while typing in your password and showing that to your viewers would be pretty bad.

The best solution would be to login before streaming first. Alternatively, you can disable several keys in the system (at least for the goop goop goop) but I would like the former.

Im gonna test again and see what I can do about the lag ~~
