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 integrated mine to organize a myriad of keystrokes in Logic Pro, a digital audio workstation. The Stream Deck allows for these controllers to be aggregated in tiers under a general heading. With a touch or two you can access a multitude of computer functions quickly and effortlessly. It does take some setup time on your part to program the device to your specifications, but afterwards, it’s very time saving.

Other than the mk2 version is much better. Angled usbc and better stand. If you know about stream decks and you are considering the 15 key, make sure to get the mk2 version for the features mentioned above. If you don’t know about stream decks, then let me tell you, these are not just for streaming. I run my entire computers shortcuts, apps, home lighting, stream software, cameras and I set up and use profiles for all of my editing software. Ps, ai, ae, pr ect. You will only be sorry if you dont get one. The software is super simple and extremely powerful. The elgato build quality is top notch. Highly recommend this and all elgatos products.

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

This is by far the best macro device I own, it is so useful! Thank you!

SO SO SO EASY AND VERY HAPPY WITH THE DEVICE! lOVE IT SO HAPPY

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

TL;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.

Its been a useful addition to my desk. The level of customization is great, wished the Spotify integration was a little more plug and play but it was manageable. Ive been using it mostly for shortcuts, and control of my smart lights.

Elgato has done it again, the Stream Deck is the perfect solution to take your production up a level. If you already have the graphic overlays and a solid mic, the stream deck is the next thing you need for broadcasting. It allows you to quickly setup adjustments to your scenes. It is extremely customizable and can do multiple things. You can have it change shots, mute audio and record video. The software is very easy to setup and allows you to customize the icons and actions of your stream deck. This is one of those things that makes a higher quality production, much easier. The build is very solid and the buttons have a great feel to them. Not clicky, but just soft although distinct when pressing. Notes: Make sure your PC is close as the cord isnt super long. I plug it into a USB adapter which has been working well since my CPU is across the room.

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.
