Greater than one weekI definitely use this when Im live streaming, but I use it for so, so much more -- opening websites and frequently-used files, editing audio and video, quick replies to emails, composing music, and so much more. If you have anything you do frequently that takes more than a single step, its worth it to program it into the stream deck. Cant imagine my life without it now!

> 3 dayI love having macros set up for anything I can have one for, but having a 10 keyless keyboard means that the number of keys I have to put macros on without interfering with games and programs is very few. The Strem Deck has been an answer to my prayers. I have keys for everything. My favorite sites I like to visit, buttons for launching my favorite games, controlling my music via Spotify, capturing gameplay clips with Nvidia Shadowplay which I always forget the key combo for, and even a whole slew of copypastas to send to Discord, as well as shortcuts for Discord emojis. Each with its own picture on its key, and even animated ones! A nice touch of detail has been that on their website for making custom key icons, theres even a section to convert a wallpaper into key backgrounds so you can have all the keys come to form a whole photo. Cannot recommend this product enough. My only gripe is a personal one as I cannot decide on a final setup, and am always changing things around on it.

> 3 dayIf you need more power to control, and get things done, either be it macros, workflow, streaming or even gaming. It is a solid experience, and even serves as an information center, with things on cpu % and other indicators available to you, tailored to your needs. If you need the buttons, its worth it. If you want to save money, go for a smaller model. I did drop mine, and it did survive a drop test and rolled across a wood floor. No outward damage, and no internal damage observed either. The packaging is superb, and the stand is above all and beyond.

> 3 dayeasy to use, easy to learn, and plenty of macros you can copy paste off the web to make work, gaming, or streaming just a bit easier.

Greater than one weekTL;DR: great build quality; lacking some key features; and not supported on Windows 7, the most popular OS in the world. The buttons feel...mushy. If you can imagine a laptop keyboard with double the padding, thats essentially what the buttons feel like. Thats due to there being LCDs that youre pressing down, I suppose. The middle button also has that ridge to help you figure out your hand placement when not looking. The stand is sturdy, but I wish their kickstand wasnt so flimsy. Regardless, though, this thing is not going to budge when pressing the buttons. The Stream Deck itself is fairly compact so Ill probably just set it flat near my mouse. The housing is fantastic, as well. Last few things to note are in regards to the software: One YouTuber mentioned that it had macro capabilities. I did not see anything for it. I see hotkeys. Built in macro support would be amazing to avoid having to use Autohotkey. Im surprised that it does not support nested folders or at least some kind of automatic switching between custom main screens based on the foreground window. This is unfortunately why they have limited the number of shortcuts to around 210. -1 more star for lacking some of these very important features. Though Im sure theyll come out with support in the future. _____________________________ ***NOT SUPPORTED ON WINDOWS 7 MACHINES*** ***DO NOT INSTALL ON ANYTHING BUT WINDOWS 10*** Unfortunately the Windows 10 requirement didnt catch my eye. My fault, yes. But the decision to not support Windows 7 should be noted. Is it an old OS? Yes. But its still the most popular OS in the world. I would imagine more so for power users that would use a product such as the Elgato Stream Deck. -1 star. ***Accidentally installing Elgatos Stream Deck software on a Windows 7 machine will cause it to throw this error: The program cant start because api-ms-win-core-winrt-string-l1-1-1.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. It will also give nearly the same error when trying to open OBS. SO DO NOT INSTALL ON A WINDOWS 7 MACHINE. I originally had called Elgatos support (which is awesome, by the way!) and thats when it got pointed out to me. This was all my mistake so no more additional stars off for that. Oh well, fortunately I have a cheaper alternative that does the same thing without physical buttons.

> 3 dayIve been using a 6-key Stream Deck for a while and needed more keys but was concerned about where to place it in my crowded studio setup. So, I built a small aluminum shelf that attaches to the adjacent keyboard stand and voila, its perfect. Easy to program and always reliable. Oh, and as for my old 6-key unit. I placed that in the studio live recording room where it functions as a remote control. Super cool!
