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

It’s a really cool device. It’s stupid that the el gato software is not compatible with many different software and relies on plugins from companion to actually be useful. Attaching via plugin programs like companion can be finicky and potentially unstable. Do better el gato.

Im constantly finding more uses that I initially purchased it for, kind of regret not buying the larger model because more buttons would be useful. The software is very easy to use and doesnt appear to affect performance when the computer is under load (in game and/or streaming).

Great streaming tool with tons of options available to download.

Ive used keyboard macros, HID macros, 3rd party keypads like the Nostromo and etc and never really had a great experience with them. This worked immediately, is very intuitive to setup, and makes even multi-action tasks easy to setup and assign to a hotkey. I chose the XL over the smaller options because I wanted to have an easier time with multi-hotkey applications. With Adobe Photoshop CC, I can easily assign all the hotkeys that I use in a single folder whereas with the 15-key Id have had to do some folder nesting. It all comes down to use-case, but I definitely recommend this to anyone who streams or games and uses their computer for other tasks at the same time.

I do a LOT of audio work on my main Windows PC so this Stream Deck serves me well for the simple task of muting and focusing on one of my many audio feeds when I hear something I want to focus on. I found PowerMixer which is a very capable audio mixer for Windows that allows fine control of just about any audio route. I configured Stream Deck with unused rare key sequences, then configured Power Mixer to recognize each of those key sequences to carry out the desired action, whether its muting all except one input or maximizing the master volume control or, most commonly, resetting everything back to normal after all those other changes. I especially like the ability to change what is displayed on the buttons so this thing is infinitely customizable.

Im a twitch streamer myself, Ive already got this exact same one and it was amazing for me. My boyfriend has been a streamer longer then I have and still didnt have one, so I decided to get one for him for Christmas. He was over the moon and loved it!! This review is from about a month after buying it he still uses it every day and is still pleased. The lights are still bright and keys still perfect. The white also looks so nice!! BUY IT!!!

I purchased this product because it offers a great deal of flexibility. I cant use this at work because my employer doesnt want to proactively review products that might provide an engineer efficiencies that assist in bringing shareholder value to investors. So here I am with a device that could provide huge levels of efficiencies, but nope. Ill just use this for whatever shenanigans I can get up to with my home network.

Perfect for a entry level stream setup!

Im upgrading my 15-key stream deck, selling this one to a friend. And upgrading to this 32-key stream deck, the upgrade process was very easy, I was asked if I wanted to copy over the profile to the new stream deck. I confirmed, and all my settings showed up on the new 32-key stream deck. Elgato makes a great product. Works exactly as described, and they are still making improvements to the software. I just bought a 15-key for my day-job, Im going to start using this for productivity purposes other than streaming. Elgato should consider renaming this to a MINI-SCADA system.

Easily one of the best investments you can make if you truly care about live streaming. One of the main problems I was having before getting this was using hotkeys in OBS. I either couldnt remember them all, the hotkeys I wanted to use wouldnt be picked up by OBS unless it was the active window (not good for using while in a game), or was too simple and could be accidentally triggered. This is by far the best solution out there for controlling your computer and controlling OBS. Its built in screen allows you to set custom icons to easily see what each button does at only a quick glance. For example, my OBS scene switching buttons have an example picture of the actual scene on it, making it quick and easy to see which scene is which. On top of that, unlike other custom keyboards that can only press hotkeys, this unit and its accompanying software control OBS directly, meaning no more worrying about certain hotkey combos not working. And with the added folder system, you can have way more buttons configured than you could with a similarly priced custom programmable keypad. One feature Ive used constantly the Twitch clip button. Instead of hoping other people in stream clip it, you can make a clip of what just happened, all with one single tap of a button. Makes capturing those epic moments in a live stream much easier. The streamlabs integration is also might useful, as you can now run credits or spin the wheel without needing the web interface open The flexability and versatility of this thing is unmatched. Well worth the investment for streamers.
