Excellent product, extremely useful for speeding up processes, made of good quality. You can automate processes, and make shortcuts for everything you imagine, if there is an option on the keyboard. The screen on each key helps to markedly improve the visibility of the shortcut. Good support from the company and many presets from the user community.

Ok, the price is a bit steep. But, you can use this for so many things, not just streaming. I set up a page to control my smart lighting in the room. One page of one touch app launchers ( no more clicking and scrolling to find programs. 2 pages are set up for my sim racing cockpit. You literally can use this thing to program shortcuts, play sound files, take screenshots, go to see your pc usage. The plugins are endless. And lastly yes, you can use it for streaming and keeping tabs on viewers, comments, likes, etc. I've had one for a couple years and this one I purchased for my son to use on his pc.

Installation is easy and a great addition to my gaming setup. Every button is fully customizable to your needs

This has made streaming so much easier! Yet it’s small enough to not take over my desk. The software is easy to use and customize your deck.

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.

This stream deck is awesome! This makes streaming so much more fun, and easy. You can program it to switch scenes on the stream, voice mod, make funny noises, etc.. it’s user friendly and easy to use.

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.

This is an excellent device and the software makes it very easy to program for many functions. I like that as you program, the hardware is instantly updated. The keys are little screens, so they can have words and graphics on them for identification. I have the 16 key version and it fills up rapidly. Fortunately the system has the ability to swap all the key scripts so you can have multiple sets of keys for a particular program depending on what part of the program you are interacting with. One major limitation is that mouse clicks cannot be programmed, only key strokes. Hence if what you want to accomplish does not have shortcut keys you can't program it. Allied to this, it may be difficult to locate the short cut keys. Plugins are available (for free) to supersede some of these limits. I installed the Zoom plugin. My greatest utilization to date is using it for Zoom. I would like to have a key that would share and play preselected music. This sequence requires two mouse clicks in the middle so I have two keys and two mouse clicks. It would be desirable to be able to do this with one key. There doesn’t appear to be a way to open the settings in a context free way. Tools are available for developing plugins using procedural programming languages like JavaScript or objective C ... I don’t know how one could control an application such as Zoom if you don’t own Zoom if the application doesn’t provide a shortcut key.

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

Easy to setup, easy to customize and really streamlines the streaming process.

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.

Amazing functionality, simple set up. Ease of use is nice for simpler/beginning to even advanced gamers and/or streamers. Options for custom button set up and layouts, doesn’t get much better than this! Chose white to match the set up, but also available in black for a more discreet or minimalist look. I would say it’s definitely a must for a gamer or someone who streams often. 10/10 for me!

Great for users who want to quickly be able to switch or set up your stream. Helps with multiple monitor set ups.

An absolute banger and must have for any and all streamers looking to add value to their content. BEST BUY always offering top tier products Amazing product and quality hardware. Its so easy to learn how to use its essetially plug and play. Thank you Best Buy for always offeting top tier products

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.

It has so many uses. I don't even stream or anything but wanted to use it to make getting places easier and opening commonly used files and websites. it works great and it only took me a few minutes to understand how to set it up.

Extremely helpful. Setup on Windows very easy. Setting up on Linux Mint next with an open source software package. Will probably end up buying another for my grand daughter for her Youtube video work. A very compact unit & already wondering why I waited so long to get one. Tons of uses & has helped simplify & streamline editing.

Elehato has always made quality products and this is no exception. From easy of use software to tutorials on how to set the device up to easy of use this device has it all if you are looking to get into streaming or need some extra buttons for your video or podcasts. Would highly recommend
