Elgato Stream Deck MK.2 – Studio Controller, 15 macro keys, trigger actions in apps and software like OBS, Twitch, ​YouTube and more, works with Mac and PC

I pre-orderd the Elgato Stream Deck for use in our Play 4 PawZ charity stream on May 26, 2017. I was a bit worried it may not get here in time if there was a shortage in supply but Elgato was ready for the demand and Amazon got it here within 2 days. After getting it my concern was would I be able to figure out exactly how to use it in time for the event but this thing is VERY EASY to program and use. If youre a streamer thats been using a keyboard to control your stream those days are over! No more taping little pieces of paper labeled with the actions to tiny keys on a keyboard! Each button on the Stream Deck can be labeled with your own graphics simply by dragging the graphic you want the button to show into the Stream Deck program. Programing the buttons is so easy ANYONE can effectively program all the buttons and use the Stream Deck. I have mine programed to perform any action in OBS that I will use throughout the stream by just pushing one of the buttons. Tweeting is a breeze while streaming as well. Just type up the tweet before hand in the Stream Deck Software and push the button when its time. Your Tweet goes out instantly. No need to think of witty typo free Tweets when youre tired! Need to tweet, push a button. Need to flip over to a scene in OBS, push a button. Need to take a potty break, push a button (no it wont pee for you but it will flip over to a brb scene). NO MORE FUMBLING AROUND!!

Using the SD for trading and in future for photoshop. Like the easy setup and the speed of how the sd is reacting and accepting my commands. Especially for trading that saves time and saves me memorizing various hot keys etc.

Macht seinen Job echt gut aber Preislich doch etwas hoch

Wenn das bei einem Billigst-Produkt passiert... ok...

I initially bought the 6 keys and immediately fell in love and upgraded to the 15 keys version. Now the 32 keys is perfect by adding a removable USB port and the wire coming from the back. I cant wait until is out!!! I use for applications and browser shortcuts.

That feels slow when I need more speed for a faster work. USB-A is a bad idea in 2023, consider a wire USB-C.

Sinceramente, es perfecto para hacer streaming, pero eso sí, el de 6 botones se queda muy corto. Yo pensaba que me podría apañar, incluso, puedes tener más de una página de botones, pero creo que hubiera hecho mejor comprando el mk2.

Software decides not to work randomly for no reason

This is a great little device. I actually purchased it since my life seems to be on zoom 24/7 and it’s very handy both as meeting control and general system shortcuts. I wish mute/unmute was instantaneous - it’s pretty good, just noticeably not instant.
