Customer Ratings & Reviews

So, I don't really use this thing to its full potential. I pretty much only use it to control apps individual volume levels, and for that, it's perfect. I know this thing is capable of so much more, but if you're looking for a device with dials that can change the volume levels of different apps on the fly, this is what you're looking for, and it does it exactly as you'd expect.

I’ve been using the Elgato Stream Deck for a while now, and it’s honestly one of the best tools for making streaming or even everyday PC tasks easier. The customizable LCD buttons are awesome — you can set them up to launch apps, control your stream, adjust audio, or run shortcuts with a single tap. The setup software is easy to use, and there are tons of plugins for things like OBS, Twitch, Spotify, and smart lights, which makes it super flexible. The build quality feels solid, and the buttons light up nicely, though they can feel a little soft if you press them off-center. My only complaints are that it’s a bit pricey and the USB cable is short and not detachable, which can be annoying when setting up your desk. Still, once you get it set up, it saves so much time and makes things run smoother — it’s one of those devices you don’t realize you needed until you use it.

I own another streamdeck (32 button version) but wanted this because of the dials and thought it would be a great addition since I use it so much with my work (programming, meetings, etc). I don't actually stream but find these to be an invaluable work tool. Originally, when I purchased it, the product was somewhat new and was just starting to get plugin adoption by the community. I honestly was really on the fence to return it because at the time the dials weren't really utilized. I'm glad I kept it as months later now both Elgato and the community have done a lot into having dial support. Now with the new features (Action Trigger, Action Wheel, and Dial Stack) this has now become my primary of the two stream decks that I use. The dials allow me to rotate through several hot keys / plugins / macros and select the one I want. The display bar is nice for showing me a nice large clock that I can use as a timer. The list goes on and on. I'm glad I didn't return this and my hats off to Elgato on continually developing the software to make it more and more useful. I love having two stream decks, but if I had to start over knowing what I know now, I probably would have picked up two of these dial versions instead of having the 32 button + dial version. My only wish/request for the products would be to have a 1/4 thread mount on the back so you can have it mounted on a telescoping arm and off the desk. I picked up a 3d printed adapter off Etsy that works great, but would have been nice if it had it by default. Great device - strongly recommend to others.

I bought this as a gift for my brother and he loves it. He uses it for streaming and even when he isn’t it really helps him out. It works so well I have considered buying myself one even though I don’t stream. I had purchased it for pick up but had something come up and the fact that I can switch it for next day delivery was perfect.

Intuitive software and sleek design complete the package, making it a must-have for elevated streaming experiences.

This is the one. I’ve have the MK 2 without dials and was worried this would not have enough buttons for me but the dials and touchscreen strip encompass so many more functions that I don’t miss the extra buttons at all. Having one dial able to to turn volume up or down and mute is way better than 3 buttons to do the same thing. On top of that, the corresponding display for status of that dial level and name is so much cleaner than the old button method. All of the new dial related actions make this way more intuitive than an all button setup.

This product is amazing! I've wanted a Stream Deck to take my streaming experience to the next level. Since this is my first one, I went with the smaller, more affordable one. Makes navigating to specific apps easier, with the touch of a button. Excited to expand to the Stream Deck XL later in 2026!!!

I've been using the Elgato Stream Deck for a while, but the Stream Deck+ is a significant upgrade. The tactile dials, LCD keys, and touch strip are fantastic additions. I've found it incredibly customizable, whether for audio, video, or lighting controls. Being able to trigger multiple actions and switch between different app configurations seamlessly is a remarkable feature. The Stream Deck Store offers useful plugins, icons, and more. Wave Link, the audio mixing software, is a great inclusion. With regular updates, the Stream Deck+ just keeps getting better. It deserves a solid 5 stars!

This thing is just amazing!!! So I’m not a streamer and I still use it for other things. My wife uses it for work like Microsoft, zoom meetings and to have one button app press on and controls the volume to the pc. I use it to start games, control my steel series head set volume, to control my discord and to open op other apps of my choice. It’s a small learning curve with it but once you ingest the hang of it you’ll you can do so much.

I can’t say enough good things about the Elgato Stream Deck + Studio Controller. This thing has totally transformed how I manage my livestreams, video editing, and even day-to-day tasks. The customizable buttons, knobs, and touch strip give me instant control over everything from audio levels to launching apps—super intuitive and smooth. Setup was a breeze, and the software makes it easy to tailor everything to exactly how I work. Whether I’m streaming, recording, or just switching scenes and sounds, it saves me so much time and energy. The build quality is solid and looks sleek on my desk too. If you're a streamer, podcaster, or just want to streamline your digital life, this is worth every penny. Total game-changer!

I bought this for my brother who is a streamer and this was perfect for him. He like the multi screen option so he can set his buttons to each streaming show he does! It was easy to set up

I love this thing and it's only going to get better! I've seen a few people complain about minor things like plugins needing to be updated etc to support the knobs. Hey, if you wanna wait for that and not enjoy what it can do now while you wait, then buy the old one and regret it later then! It already made using my keylights way easier cuz the knobs worked for that right away. Its just like OBS, if you want to wait to upgrade to the new version because some of the plugins arent yet compatible, then wait. But if you are going to buy a new stream deck, it makes no sense to me to buy one that does'nt support the knobs and all that this can do NOW. If you already have a stream deck maybe I could understand waiting a bit to buy this one, but I didn't have one yet at all, so I bought this one, and I LOVE IT, and have no regrets. It will only get better over time. I've been using the stream deck app on my ipad, so I am familiar with how it all works and what it does, and this already does alot more than a standard stream deck, so I don't get the hate just cuz it's new and some things need to be updated in software to support the new hardware features.

Works great! I use it an audio controller for my IEM's, whatever is on my 2nd screen, the game im playing, system sounds all with their own dial, as well as quickly switch input/output with one touch etc. Best thing i ever got to streamline the ease of use ofnmy setup!

this product is phenomenal i don't know what took me so long to get it and im glad i did. Its not just for content creation you can use it for pretty much anything with all its customizable features! excellent buy!

So far I've had no issues but it's been incredibly useful. Frequently need to adjust volumes because my friends don't know how to talk into their mic until I turn my game sound down. Then they know exactly where it is. Adding on some quick mute, deafen, screenshot, etc shortcuts. It's been way more useful than I originally expected.

Very good. Lots of customizable buttons to do. I love this thing. Great for streaming.

I’ve seen Stream Decks for years but always thought they were for gamers so I didn’t think it was for my work needs. I work from home and host a lot of Zoom calls and it wasn’t until recently when I learned that this device could also fit into my space. I was using the Elgato Wave XLR audio device for my Rode XLR mic so when I learned that the Stream Deck Plus had an add on module for the Wave XLR, I was sold…two in one. This basically replaced my Wave XLR on my desk so I didn’t have to tie up more space and added Stream Deck capabilities. I’ve been able to add so many of my day to day tasks that I would normally go to my favorites bar for and make them buttons. My dials control my mic gain and audio controls. I’ve added smart home automations to other buttons and I keep learning more on how this thing can help with my workflow. I’m a huge fan now and have recommended this to my peers as part of their desk setups. Now, to buy lighting modules and other things I can control with my new toy!

Wow, I like this unit. I didn't have any other control units like this previous, but I did try the Elgato Mobile Version to test the sequence and controls before purchasing. I think it's well executed. I attempted to use with the WaveLink software, but it doesn't work on my system (I've also had issues with devices like the Beacn Mix Create). Works great if you understand what you need to do for setup.

I have and use the Stream Deck Mk 2, and have been using it for all sorts of things, but now that I'm doing more recording / streaming with OBS, I found that having dedicated knobs for volume controls makes things so much easier. I do miss having more physical buttons, but the touch strip makes it super easy to slide back and forth between layouts. When I'm not using this for streaming, I have layouts for various games and applications where having macros and hotkeys are super useful. There's even a plugin to control my smart lighting system, so when it's night time, I can hit a button and dim all the lights in the house.
