Elgato Stream Deck +

Not quite a keyboard in the usual sense — this is a programmable controller for streamers, content creators, and anyone who needs quick tactile access to complex action sequences. The device combines three types of control: eight buttons with individual LCD screens under each, four rotary encoders, and a touch strip between them. The buttons are not just programmable — each mini-screen displays the icon of the assigned action, and by swiping the touch strip, you can scroll through up to ten pages of layouts, significantly increasing the number of available commands.

The encoders allow for smooth parameter adjustments — volume, brightness, white balance, camera zoom — and pressing them switches between several assigned functions. The Elgato Stream Deck + controller connects via a removable USB cable (with a USB-C port on the device) and is configured through proprietary software where actions are assigned by dragging and dropping.

The Multi Action feature launches a sequence of commands with a single press — for example, turning on the lights, starting the stream, and playing an intro. Smart Profiles automatically change the layout when switching between applications. Accessories can be connected to the rear panel: an XLR dock for a microphone or a four-port USB hub. A library of over 200 plugins extends compatibility to OBS, Discord, Photoshop, DaVinci Resolve, Ableton, and other applications.
