Cool setup. Is it all working nicely with the Stream Deck & associated bindings?

Yes it works well.

The only issue I found was random disconnects when using a backlit LED keyboard and the stream deck on the same non-powered USB switch. I switched to a powered USB switch and that issue is gone.

The switch I'm using is IOgear 2x4 with a USB 5v 2a power brick. https://www.iogear.com/product/GUS402/
