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

I dont do streaming so my use is less of what it is marketed for. I already had a 15 button Elgato Stream Deck and have found that it required too many button pushes for my process. I do extensive freelance 3D presentation graphics mostly in Rhino and have my manual process fairly refined. Using the Stream Deck has given me back screen real estate as I dont need as many Icon menus anymore. I tried the smaller Stream Deck initially out of curiosity and fell in love with it so I decided to buy the larger unit (32 button unit). The larger unit provides me with over 2 times the commands per page and as a side benefit the smaller unit can control the page display for the larger unit. I have spent the time creating custom icons for all the Rhino/Affinity/Coding commands and now have shortened my processes by at least half. Also, my deliverables are consistent project to project. I really love this thing. Best money I ever spent. I have programmed all my Affinity apps into it as well as coding snippets for when I write code. Saves a tremendous amount of typing (and mistakes). I have programmed my frequent Websites into one page for simple access and my favorite YouTube channels into another. This thing can also control security cameras which I will do soon. Its amazing how many things I have automated with this thing. Possibilities are only limited by your imagination. I use Mac computers and this has functioned flawlessly. There is quite a following on line. Love it.

For the first week or two i was having issues with the streamdeck connecting or staying connected but after some time and resetting the connection it worked its self out. Otherwise I have been loving it!

Didn’t use the small one too often until I started using voice mod. So small I needed an upgrade for more space. Great upgrade to my battle station.

Exactly what I was looking for. I paired with Voicemod and I was able to make several pages of sound bites and voice mods. I have it just to annoying the wife and friends while gaming but the software pairs with OBS and several other recording or streaming apps. I would highly recommend for streaming/podcasts

I’m not a streamer but I thought these were cool so I got one. It’s relatively useful for things outside of streaming but it becomes obvious that that’s its main purpose. If you stream get it. If you don’t, you’re better off with a cheaper macro pad or something.

This is a great little device that can be useful for office workers too. I find very interesting that its so heavily marketed towards streamers. I received it today and after playing with it a little bit, I ended up adding a few stock tickers, controls for Spotify and Hue lights, and three clocks with time zones (I worked remotely for a company in a different time zone). I only regret now not buying the Stream Deck with more keys. Highly recommended!

I like it has a white cover! I wanted soemthing that gives a white theme that goes with my pc. The controls are nice. It’s simple to use with the app. I had to use YouTube for a tutorial how to set up Spotify but other than that it was easy.

I have been using the Elgato Stream Deck MK.2 for a variety of tasks, such as video production with OBS, facilitating Zoom meetings, and podcasting. While the product is truly innovative and has been a great addition to my setup, it does have a significant bug that needs addressing. The 15 customizable LCD keys are a fantastic feature, allowing me to instantly control my apps, tools, and platforms with ease. The one-touch operation makes triggering single or multiple actions incredibly simple, and the visual feedback confirms that my commands are executed successfully. The Stream Deck MK.2 also boasts compatibility with powerful plugins like Elgato 4KCU, OBS, Twitch, YouTube, Twitter, Discord, Spotify, and Philips Hue, making it an indispensable tool for content creators. The hotkey actions streamline workflows in film editing, music production, and photography. However, I have encountered a major issue when using multiple monitors in certain circumstances. My Stream Deck often freezes up, and attempting to end the process and restart it in Windows 11 does not resolve the problem. The only solution Ive found is rebooting my computer, which can be quite inconvenient. Despite this bug, Im giving the Elgato Stream Deck MK.2 a four-star rating because of its immense potential and usefulness when it functions correctly. I believe that Elgato will address this issue in future updates, making it an even more powerful tool for streamers and content creators. Overall, the Elgato Stream Deck MK.2 is a fantastic concept with room for improvement. Once the freezing issue is resolved, I have no doubt that it will become an indispensable tool for streamers and content creators everywhere.

I bought it for my boyfriend for Valentines Day and he absolutely loves it

Its actually insane how this simple product made streaming and productivity easier. I can adjust my volume and mixes with a push of a button, I can swap inputs from my dac/amp from headphones to speakers. I can scene change seamlessly with added effects. Start stream, open up web pages, play Spotify playlist, adjust my smart lights. Wow, even if I wasnt streaming, this item is so useful. I do wish I got the bigger version as I have to get folders and scroll to the next pages, but its really not that bad. Only downside is that the connection port is on the top, so its hard to hide it.
