PC enthusiasts have been adding sensor panels to their builds for quite some time now, and we’ve even seen case manufacturers including them in their chassis. But the Wigidash from G.Skill aims to simplify things by providing power and display over a single USB cable to the 7” IPS display. The Wigidash is also aiming to be more than a sensor panel, though, and it’s actually marketed as a ‘PC Command Panel’. So can this new gadget deliver the same functionality as an Elgato Stream Deck?
