I've looked at some out of the box options for a go button, the one which comes to mind is a go button I've found which works with CueLab, to me it's a bit pricy..

I'm using Show Cue systems, and would like an external button which is my "Go" button.

Is there something "cheap" I can get, or is it simple to build one? I can get our service-guy at the shop to make me one if it's simple. I'd like an USB-thing which just triggers the software.

You can hack up a usb keyboard and only wire the two contacts for the space bar to a button. Put the whole thing in a project box.
I’ve made several of these and they work great with no extra software.

There is also these guys that sell single key keyboard.

You could check out X-Keys.

X-keys is nice,

you can hack a USB Game controller (get the print out of it & build it yourself in a square box with good knobs) or you can buy something like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/bbjsimracing

I use a Teensy LC . It requires a bit of soldering but nothing that hard. Easy. There's also massives of videos and websites about it. Google go button with Teensy Lc.

I used a Teensy Arduino that can be programmed to spit out a keyboard command.
Works great and cheap and easy.

That's what I liked about them. Super cheap and really easy to customize aswell. I'm now making a bigger one with 6 keys.

There used to be a product by a former Labster named Andy Levis (now Lang). It was a four or 6 button USB/MIDI remote for operating QLab and other playback software. Sadly, I think he has stopped producing them. But you might try the email listed on the website.

This is much more than a go button, but I encourage anyone that uses Qlab or anything imilar to check out Stream Deck, by ElGato.

Very nifty.  Especially the ability to load jpgs as your key labels.  And it basically will trigger anything on any computer.

Very cool!
$200 at Amazon is reasonable.
