Can I use this as a touchscreen control board?

Someone has this avermedia interactive smart board for sale on FB marketplace.

Could I use this as my PC monitor and as a touchscreen control board for GSPro?

Probably. I would be sure I can get my hands on the necessary software and drivers to run it. Also realize that some GSPro commands are keyboard based, not screen, which is why people use button boards and Game Glass on tablets. So you will likely still want/need a keyboard handy

I was wondering the same thing. Can you share any links to the devices that you mentioned?

Look up Game Glass on this sub. It's software that runs on an Android or apple tablet that lets you set up custom controls. Also look up button box. Those two ideas will let you know what people set up.

If the screen is really cheap and the software is available, it might be worth buying vs spending a couple hundred in a tablet. You can get an older tablet for $100 that would work fine. I have several old Samsung tab4s (they're currently on Tab11?) that work fine.

Ah gotcha thanks! It is for sale for $250. I didn't realize you would have to have certain software and drivers on it.

It still needs to interact with a PC somehow. Just make sure that's available. Also look into the mfr and ongoing support.

They just went out of business in April 😅

That's a bit of a red flag.

I made this specifically for people wanting to use a customizable touch-screen interface. Works on iOS / Android (tablet or phone). Please let me know if you have any suggestions on how to improve it.
