[electronics] - STREAM DECK during gaming?

[soundzen]

hi,

either is called deck OR dock, either is expensive like Elgato or cheap like Ajazz, i' m not a full-on streamer or music/photo editor whom may need a gazillion apps and shortcuts - i'm only a casual chill gamer, so i will use half the features on this gadget to control my Spotify music and maybe open my Discord chats or a Game's wiki page, during a game play... and that's where my Question arises:

Q - can anyone using this kind of gadget, confirm that Spotify will respond to my command, when playing a game in full screen - because so far, i have to hit Windows button, just to see my Toolbar appear at the bottom of my screen and then i hover my mouse on my Spotify icon to pop-up its minimalist menu (see attach), before i can do a command (raise volume, change album, skip track, etc..) while my game is on Pause !

im changing my keyboard for one that has not a "skip & volume" knob, like my actual old SteelSeries Apex 3 rgb - so i ordered a new Ducky One 3 tkl, which is a 80% minimalist TKL and thank god, its non-rgb ...and no, i never use the keyboard hotkeys for volume & song skipping, because it's a command that requires combo-keys hit and it's distracting and interruptive - so a gadget with a single button hit, is my wish, while staying focused to my game.

thanks!

saw today this even cheaper version from my initial 40$ model - Ajazz AKP03E...this strip-down programmable keyboard with no key-icons and damn RGB but at least theres a knob, for 20$.
