My keyboard has twelve programmable keys, two dials and a small screen built in. Galleon Helm is built to use all of them to run my desk: media on the second PC, audio across both machines, voice chat, and the keyboard and mouse that are shared between the two machines.
The part I care about is honesty in the display. Every command moves through requested, pending and confirmed, and only advances when the new state has actually been observed. A timeout shows unknown rather than failed, and a value that hasn't been read yet shows as a dash, not as zero. A control surface that lies about state is worse than none.
