Elgato Stream Deck Classic - Live production controller with 15 customizable LCD keys and adjustable stand, trigger actions in OBS Studio, Streamlabs, Twitch, YouTube and more, works with PC/Mac

Not a gamer, but can see where this would be handy for that. I use it for Cubase, Sonar, Reason and Ableton Live. Great for shortcuts in DAWs. Also handy as shortcuts to often used programs. (i.e. Open up a specific Word or Excel Document that is often used at the push of a button instead of having to open Word/Excel, then finding and opening the document. Easy to use, Easy to set up and invaluable for musicians who use DAWs.

I bought this for my boyfriend for his birthday and for the last couple of weeks hes been non-stop playing with it. At first, when I order the stream deck I thought it was just for quick access to computer functions, but you can do a lot more with it. My boyfriend added different pages so he can switch back and forth between different functions. You can add features to the buttons to make them produce different sounds or music as well as programming the deck to open up different web browsers. Its a really great gift for anyone who likes computers.

I started off with the smaller deck...dont get me wrong, the smaller deck is great! THIS? This ones greatER! All my scenes on one board! Sound on its own board! Sounds to play on their own board. Twitter tweets ready to go at the push of a button...very happy I upgraded!

I purchased Elgato Stream Deck XL 32 buttons is working very well, the finish of its structure is matte and the animations that are placed either gifs or videos are more fluid as they have better optimized the system, I had bought Stream Deck 15 buttons and decided to fucionarlo / paste it as seen in the pictures getting an integration of the 2 accessories. What strikes me is that in the XL the buttons have a yellow contrast, since the Stream Deck of 15 buttons the contrast is blue, at the beginning it bothered me a little to see the buttons yellowish but now I am used to the contrast generated by the light of the streamdeck. This contrast or color change is not mentioned in the reviews or the youtube videos, it would be nice if someone could tell me. Anyway the functionality has been excellent, I started with 15 buttons but the 32 has been excellent. I suggest you buy the XL as it is an excellent purchase.

Runs so smooth and it makes editing and streaming so much easier. If you can afford it, I highly recommend it. I find that the 15 button Stream Deck is the best in my opinion. Enough to display enough buttons for one profile, but not too big. P.S. In the software you can program a button to change profiles so you can cycle through them on your deck. So if you want more than just 15 you can set more profiles and program a button to switch between them.

It really depends on your use case. As basically a button pad for macros, it looks cool and works well. Whether or not you’ll get a lot of value really depends on the apps and how often you use hotkeys. Some of the apps from their store don’t work completely. For instance, the YouTube live monitoring on mine doesn’t work. Just has a pretty icon. Running on MacMini M1 btw. Perhaps it’s a OS thing.

This was one of the easiest upgrades to my stream! Instead of me opening all of the programs/sites needed for my stream, I now hit one button and they all pop up! I can toggle scenes and objects in streams with the push of a button. I can configure my own sound boards. I have also configured chat messages to display in Twitch which activates events in my Streamlabs Ankhbot! Early cons, toggling objects on and off are tied to only one scene. Either a multi-action button needs to be created or a separate button for each scene. There isnt a Spotify-only section yet; I believe to properly operate these controls, Spotify has to be your active window and then multimedia controls will work. With the very little shortcomings Ive noticed, I still have to give this 5 stars. Its a device I wish I had years ago. -WithSteve-

Love this thing. Easy to set up and useful for more than just streaming. being able to customize the buttons is also fun if you are artistically inclined. I did have an issue where putting the unit to sleep only dimmed the screen instead of turning it off, but this was fixed with a firmware upgrade.

I have only begun to understand the power of a stream deck..

I saw a sound engineer use this and thought itd be useful. One of my tasks is copying informatoin from websites into Excel so theres a lot of pointing and clicking. With the Streamdeck, Im able to point the mouse to a location with the push of a large button. It speeds up my workflow a lot. It also has many other abilities, such as to launch programs and open documents but the mouse work is by far my favorite application. An example: I have an excel sheet in full screen mode and to save offline, I push a button and the mouse goes to the little icon and presses it and returns to the center of the screen. Each button can be programmed to do different things with either a short or long push so you get a lot of commands. Finally, theres a community of devoted people who answer questions very quickly. I havent dealt with the actual customer service.
