Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent device loads of features a streamers must

Amazing! The price was fair for what it does, couldn’t be happier!

Simply awesome. Does everything you need and very compact.

Great device, bought it for a device I could use for macros and such. Ended up sending it back as I wasn't using it as much. But fi you know your for sure going to use it than a great buy indeed.

Aside from streaming on Twitch, the Stream deck is perfect for helping the user navigate through their PC with no issues. The endless customizations for the keys is just another plus!

Does exactly what I need and is convenient and useful

Is amazing produc recomended for all special fot gaming

Great addition to my stream on twitch! Sleek design!

Works great love it the buttons work and lights up excellent

Box says 'use any USB-C cable.' Also Tech Specs on box state interface is USB 2.0. Stream Deck MK.2 will NOT work with any USB-C cable as stated. Called Customer Support at Elgato and they informed me I needed a USB 3.0 cable for me to plug directly from Stream Deck into M1 iMac USB-C port. I have a Thunderbolt cable and SS10(USB 3.1) cable, but neither of them work. I can ONLY use the supplied USB-C to USB-A cable connected to a Anker 5-in-1 USB Hub connected into the iMac. The box lies in multiple locations, and customer support was clueless.

Great quality product for the price and awesome software.

This is really good for productivity. A true must have!

Easy to set up and install. I wish the software i had to used to make it do what i wanted wasnt so tedious

Solid piece of equipment love the usefulness and convenience it provides

Elgato is a unique company that started building and focusing on streaming before it was huge. The Stream Deck as an original product was not just revolutionary, but also really dang cool. Elgato is back (now a part of Corsair) with their Mk2 version. This version smooths over the rough edges (both literally and figuratively), while retaining what made the original so special in 2017. There are worthwhile updates, but the question boils down to if you are an existing customer is it worth the upgrade? First of all, Elgato’s packaging is straightforward and easy to get into. Inside the box you find the cable, dock, and literature. The cable is still relatively short in my opinion. Owning the original Stream Deck, I can attest that the shortness of the cable made positioning difficult. However this time, the cable isn’t integrated, but rather USB-C. I tried a separate longer data cable, and at least initially it seems to work as intended. The dock is by far better than the original included stand. While the stand let you customize the angle, there was almost no situation I can think of where a different angle than the highest made sense. Almost always you position the stream deck in front of you under your monitor. The loss of flexibility is paid for in a more stable stand, and a smaller footprint. Compared to the original Stream Deck, the new one rounds off edges, and takes up nearly 3 /4” less height. Overall the buttons feel the same, the screen brightness and resolution appear identical. The device simply feels more integrated. Elgato has continued to improve the Stream Deck software. There are plugins that go far beyond gaming and into development, dev ops, home automation, and much more. You can develop your own plugins if you are so inclined, but what you can accomplish with say the visual studio code plugin, or Phillips hue plugins are pretty dang awesome. I like that i can setup folders and profiles that let me focus on the task at hand. If I’m going to stream on twitch, I can have buttons, scenes, sound effects, etc lined up on the buttons. If I’m working, I can automate different tasks, watch CPU/Mem consumption. If I’m just tooling around, I can link lighting effects with iCUE. The software is easy to use and quite intuitive (better than iCUE, sorry Corsair - although it’s gotten better!). Is a Stream Deck necessary for a streamer? Probably not, but boy is it handy. When you’re gaming/focusing on a game, it’s much easier to have these shortcut keys available. It’s a huge boon to your workflow. Speaking from a MK1 customer standpoint, there isn’t a lot to push me to upgrade. The cable situation is nicer, which is a big reason to upgrade, as is the sleeker casing/stand, but overall you’re sitting with the same functionality. I can’t tell you if it’s as finicky about ports/power as the MK1, but it seems more stable at first glance. If you are a streamer, the OBS plugins work like butter. 0 configuration, just drag and drop the buttons and boom you’re in business. Elgato’s built in streaming plugins are top notch, and they’re butter. Another plugin I can recommend is the HWInfo64 plugin that shows system statistics, like temperature, voltage, power, etc. Overall, if you’re new to Elgato’s Stream Deck - the MK2 is a great time to hop in the experience. The software has never been better, and the device brings both more flexibility and sleekness to an already awesome package. If you’re an existing customer, I can attest that it’s a solid build/device - more so than the original. However if you’re comfortable in your workflow, it’s hard to recommend unless you can hand yours down to an aspiring streamer or automation nerd. Overall though, I highly recommend this device.

I bought the product for full price as a gift, and then the item goes on sale the next day.

Has a bit of a learning curve to it, but its useful for stuff outside of streaming like controlling apps like discord and cad software.

Love this thing! Even if you don't stream, you will still find and endless amount of uses for this, especially if you are productivity driven!

Stream deck is a good tool to use for creating quick shortcuts. However, sometimes the shortcuts are not working properly

Being new to streaming it will take time to get used too but is essential when getting into streaming
