Controlling Monitor brighness etc from hardware accessories?

[Deleted member 251651]

Hi guys,

I have an Dell U3223QE, and I really don't like fideling with the joystick behind the monitor everytime I need to adjust settings, is there an add on accessory like the Benq hotkey puck I can buy from which I could contorl at least the brighness if nothing more?

Would the Benq hotkey puck work on an Dell monitor and are they available to buy seperatley?

I don't know if it's available for your monitor but I have a S2721DGFA and there's a windows tray application called "Dell Display Manager" where you can just quickly click a popup and slide the brightness.

There's also another program solution which has all sorts of options, I think it was called twinkle tray or something like that, it's on github.

Edit: I realise those solutions aren't hardware but perhaps you weren't aware of these options.

Perfect!!! Thanks
