The Elgato Stream Deck MK.2 is easy to set up and works perfectly for customizing shortcuts, macros, and quick commands. Perfect for Helldivers 2,

Great deck! I love the options. I was so suprised how I can map cmd lines and have so much work so well with one button!

Bought it as a gift. They love it and took to it rather quickly. I was worried it would end up in their closet as a gimmick. They are a Dungeon Master and play online. Now they have really awesome ambient and other sound effects for better immersion.

Honestly more useful as a conference call shortcut dock then for streaming. I use a plugin called MuteDeck to control my Teams, Zoom, Discord, and Webex meetings (I work from home on my gaming rig.) I left 4 stars for value because they know they have the market for "not keyboard input buttons" so I recommend waiting for a sale if you are unsure.

Whether you're switching scenes, launching applications, or triggering complex macros, the Stream Deck MK.2 makes it effortless.

This level of customization not only keeps things fresh but also makes it easier to navigate your commands if you switch up your key layouts. The build quality of the Stream Deck MK.2 is impressive. It has a solid, premium feel, and the keys are tactile and satisfying to press.

Elgato has truly outdone themselves with this model. The ease of setup, combined with the powerful functionality, makes the Stream Deck MK.2 an indispensable tool for anyone serious about their digital workflow.

If you frequently use a computer on a day to day basis and are thinking about purchasing one of these, just do it. It can control a multitude of of programs as well as execute macros and hotkeys. It has proven to be far more useful than I ever expected. It's designed for streamers but can do so much more. It has actually been so useful that I've been kicking myself for not just picking up the 32 button version. The 15 button is still great, you'll just have to create more folders and profiles. Seriously if you're considering this device at all, just pull the trigger. You won't be disappointed. I bought it to run with bitfocus companion for live event production but have found myself using it with literally every other program I use.

If you game stream, live podcast or edit videos this product can make your life so much easier. I use this product mainly to game stream and produce my podcast. The software is easy to use and I use it for switching scenes, recording clips, keeping track of viewers, spotify control and sound clips. If you have Elgato products like key lights, cameras, etc you can also adjust them using this. I love that you can customize the buttons to what ever image and text you like (even gifs) and the layouts can be infinite. But if you use a lot of buttons you may want to consider getting the XL instead. A must have for any streamer or editor that need hotkeys for tools and production.

I like it eat to multi task. While I’m working from home

Really easy to use and customizable, definitely worth the prize. The software can cause audio issues, specifically SoundWave but that's really it.

Easy to use and has so many plug ins that its a breeze to setup! The software makes it easy to customize it.

Pros: -If using OBS, you can have scenes assigned to keys so you can switch them on the fly -Very easy to assign functions to the keys -Makes most workflows a lot more fluid and you save a few seconds of time using it -It can be used for other things other than streaming. I use it for content creation using OBS. Cons: -No onboard memory. If you have multiple devices, you have to have the software installed in each one of them and reassign everything -Not actually a necessary device. This device was meant to save you a few seconds for things you can do simply with your keyboard and mouse Overall: This is more of a quality of life device. I use this mainly with OBS when creating videos. In OBS, you can assign pretty much anything with hotkeys on your keyboard making this Stream Deck rather overkill. And the fact that this device has no onboard memory is befuddling. I have a laptop and a PC rig and I create videos on both of them. If I were to unplug this and re-plug it onto my other device, it will not remember all the functions I assigned. You must configure each button on each computer separately. That's a major disappointment for a $150+ device. Overall, it's nice to have but I don't really think I actually have to have it. Like I said earlier, you can accomplish a lot of the 'shortcuts' using your keyboard and mouse. You save like a few seconds of time. Now if you're a hyperactive streamer, then yeah, I can see how beneficial this is. If you're gaming simultaneously while streaming, I can see how these quick keys can help you. I just don't think it's truly necessary.

Everything at your fingertips. Works great and much improved apps and ease of setup.

My son absolutely loves it.. I got it for him for his birthday and he programmed it right away

I've been debating Stream Decks for a few years. I didn't see much use for them. That's changed a lot in the last year. I find these very versatile and easy to set up and use. It's a time saver for live stream and podcasts.

All in all I can easily say that this stream deck has increased my stream, both from an experience standpoint, but also from a navigation standpoint. This stream deck makes it easy to manage custom transitions, triggers and other effects that a will in turn deliver a satisfying experience for the viewers. I did find it a big tough to initially set up, but once I got over that hump it was smooth sailing moving forward. It easily synchs with most overlays out there too. Although there are 15 buttons to program, I rarely find myself doing so. All in all I would recommend this stream deck to those who are entering streaming or are in the process of changing over from manual transitions/effects to a more mechanical approach.

The stream deck is great for people who stream, or who do a lot of work on their computers. The ease of being able to push buttons to do certain tasks is really nice. I use this for streaming so I have it set up with custom commands for my chat, I have a discord profile so I can mute and defean at ease on discord. They also have a hot key option. Overall this makes it easier to stream. To where you don’t have to constantly type certain commands in your chat.

An amazing product that I wish was priced cheaper, but is extremely useful in production of almost any type on a computer. Remember running BAT files that would run multiple commands for you as a kid? Same thing. Just a button press instead of a double click. Where it really shines like most things from Elgato -- it is excellent for streaming especially if you attach it to the rest of the Elgato accessories. You can control literally all of them from a touch of a button. I use this function to make content almost every day, and its only been with me about a month. They also have an entire app store with NEW things to add to it from the base unit all the time. It is incredibly versatile!

Very sick piece of hardware! I personally do not take full advantage of what this thing can do, but I enjoy using it as a hot key/button box for many of my sim games like DCS World, American Truck Sim, iRacing, and a few others. I do also use it to control some functions for the streaming program OBS Studio and even installed a plugin through the software that allows me to control my Spotify with great ease. Some people like digital artists and content creators use it similarly to bind their hot keys for photoshop or similar programs instead.

Works well special effects, love the detail.And the ability to switch through different actions, camera to camera lights and effects

I will make my review short and simple I have been wanting to get a stream deck for a while and honestly it is better than what i thought here is the TL;DR Pros - Greatly improves streaming experience - Buttons can be set up to do practically anything - You can create your button icons and have them appear on the deck - Uses type C - detachable angle stand - buttons are pretty bright and colorful Con - there aren't really any, maybe bigger buttons?? they are about 1.25cmx1.25cm Ok well here is my review. The size of the deck is about the size of a phone just a little more squared. Buttons are bright and colorful, you can set the brightness up and down through the software. Buttons can be set to literally anything you want. I am pretty sure you can set commands or program what the buttons do as well. One can also customize the icons on the buttons, and even animate them!. Honestly i could not recommend this enough, if you feel like you're missing something in your desk, this is probably it. P.S. I know artist will have a field day with this.
